Will we be seeing more coins like this since hurricane Sandy hit the east coast?

    I would pay like $100 max for that - and is just to have one. 750 is nuts IMO.

    Not even worth the plastic. That coin is ruined beyond repair and belief

    I could swear I've seen that coin before, posted to another forum and still in the original proof set. It was so long ago that I don't think Genuine holders existed yet, and the owner was considering sending the coin to ANACS.

    In that state, it's a wonder the coin could be distinguished from a business strike.

    ",,, ain't got a clue as to how or why someone let this coin get like this ,,, "

    This has nothing to do with Hurricane Sandy and while its condition is atrocious with better (yet more expensive) examples out there, it's still a very scarce variety.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I agree that Sandy didn't cause this example. I'm just saying we may see more coins like this because of Sandy.

    Like it. Love it!
    Wouldn't pay the asking price though.

    Nope, Sandy had nothing to do with this coin's condition. In fact, this coin was slabbed well before Sandy impacted the east coast.

    OP never stated Sandy had anything to do with this Jefferson.

    Grade: PR 60??


    That's a pretty laughable statement. It's PR and only PR because the label tells you so. As far as a numerical grade it is 0 (zero)

    That's a real shame. Would not even think of coughing up 100 bucks for that coin, though.

    That coin can only be described as fugly.

    That could should be the poster child for the argument in favor of body bagging problem coins rather than slabbing and labeling them.
