Came across this ebay listing last night and the seller uses the capitalized words VERY NICE in the title of the listing. I figure perhaps this person just used a stock listing and used the words very nice in all his titles. But I read the description and again he says the coin is very nice but the coin has damage. A picture is worth a thousands words--no need to sugar coat this one.

more like very nicely worn...

Looks like a dog has been chewing on it.

What would that grade at? VN-5?

Yes, possibly a VN-5 (Very Nice-5) but I'm going to give it a VN-6 due to the nice spacing and uniform sizes of the "digs".

It's BU!

Butt-Ugly

Key date. Leveler Quality.

I still wouldn't push it into my whitman book.

It's an epidemic!!!!

Just a tad bent....and slightly holed......but a VERY NICE COIN

Kinda shows how important the silver was. "F the coin, My pioneer ass is not going to lose this silver disk!"

The walker is just plain old defacement.

You know, those coins might have been more desirable back then if they were pre-holed.

two valid points. I am sure someone can find another very nice new POS coin. this could be fun.

I think that is a mint error?

This one is kinda interesting. Reckon it was used as a button at one time or another?

Most likely a button, but maybe a whizzer.. but whizzers were usually made from large cents.

Well I have to know what a whizzer is.

That would be a guy takin' a whiz. If the stream goes through the holes, you get to keep the coin.
