ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19269 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 09:09 am Yes, over-polished dies. Might be worth 25 to 75 cents. Check ebay sold/completed sales info for a sense of value--not asking price, but actual purchase price. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 09:10 am Value is 1¢. The right-side roof looks still partially attached and the FG is still visible. These floating rooves and missing FG thing is not an error it is a die event, over polishing. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
