rahtbarg Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 10:18 am Picked this up today at my LCS for $22.50. The thing that made me buy it was the shape of the second 8 in the date. Is this just damage or is it something else? I do not profess to know much about VAM but am trying to learn. Any help appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 10:45 am The same impact also flattened the second 1 to an extent. This is a good place to mention that the best way to understand errors and varieties is to understand the minting process when it's done right - knowing how dies are made and coins are struck would have prevented ever thinking this was some sort of legitimate error. That said, for $22.50 I'm a buyer. Report this Post to the Staff
