Matt2727 Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 4:20 pm Hello everyone, US coins are not my forte, so I was hoping someone could help me with this. I found this coin in a dealer's junk silver box...when I looked at it under a loupe I discovered that the final 9 in the date seemed to be open at the bottom. Is this a variety, or possibly an error? Any information would be helpful. I can post clearer pictures of the date if needed. Edited by Matt2727 01/06/2019 4:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Matt2727 Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 5:07 pm I thought it might be PMD too, but what would have caused the date to bend off like that? Report this Post to the Staff
