  Thanks.
  
  Anyone else notice PCGS is using a different insert now? The colors fade from a rich blue above to a light sky blue, below.

  Didn't notice till you made note of it. Trying to make it difficult for the slab counterfeiters I would assume.

  Did you just like the look of this or did you think there was something special about it?

  I loved the old time overall look of this coin. Just something about it spoke to me and I was hopeful it would land in a FN15 or so slab.
  Just for fun- nothing serious, of course.

  Um, can someone link the original thread? I'm obviously missing something here.

  I guess the graders thought the wear showed signs of being assisted (in a tumbler or such).
  
  Missed the earlier thread alluded to and I'm wondering if a clad coin could possibly wear down like that being carrie in a pocket for ten years or so?
  
  I know a silver one could.

  To me, that's what collecting is all about!

  I collect history in the form of coins.

  They said OMG What the heck. Nice look, but talk about getting buried.

  Sorry it didn't grade, I was thinking it would F or VF if not a genuine. You've got a good head start on a state quarter grading set though! Like Mad Marty says ' if the grade does not fit, you must re-submit!" (This might be the exception!)
  
  I agree with determined, that it's often what collecting is all about. There's a few coins that I've saved from the register that have some odd wear patterns and/or just have a neat, interesting look to them. Nothing valuable, just odd and interesting.

  Trying to keep up with ANACS, only theirs is yellow.
  Too bad it's been "gennied", I bet it would have had a PCGS pop of 1.

  Why grade a modern damaged coin?
  
  Ask the errors guys before you grade a coin like that ...
