Low pressure strike, more appropriately.
Grade means nothing. The TPGs assign a grade sometimes, and other times they don't. The criteria for which does not seem to be defined. It's probably easier to enter a grade into the system than try to bypass it, as there is likely a control in their data-enry process.
I'd say $175+ considering that it is a bicentennial design. The grade was not a factor in my estimate, by the way.
It's a nice error!
Very interesting @GoldenEgg. Thank you for explaining this error.
You knew about my submission result before I did !
Love it, and that's got to be a first!
Oh, and that's quite a cool coin you have there @Cody71086.
Obviously the grade assigned is not for MS coins.... One could consider it to be an MS62 within 'Die Adjust. Strike category....
Cheers, RickO
IMO assigning a grade to this coin is stupid and it has always annoyed me. On a blank/planchet or low pressure/die adjustment strike there is no way to account for pre-strike planchet imperfections and it is difficult at best to determine if/how long the coin circulated. They should simply be attributed and certified as "Genuine". Only fully struck errors should be assigned a numerical grade.
