Default Outrageous!

I can't recall ever having purchased anything from this seller, but I have
many, many times looked at his OVERGRADED auctions. That is, they fall into
that category in my humble, but *accurate* opinion. ;-) I just have to say
that this one sinks to a new low.

Looks like it could be the plate coin for G-4 in the 6th edition of the ANA
Grading Standards.

Well, at least you don't have to wonder about whether it might have
any mint luster or not! LOL

It's not even 'Good-4'.
Looks like it may qualify for 'About Good-3', using liberal grading
standards.

"Problem-free" coin is right, though.
No problem in grading coins that worn out!
Worth $100 if 'Good-4' which it doesn't make.
Might be worth $88 ('buy it now' price) if you just want a type coin to
complete all the types possible in U.S. history.
