It's essential to have it in the title. * Got this dollar (along with yesterday's post) in $47 worth of loose dollars I got from my bank yesterday This die must've been LONG overdue to be retired! I didn't even see that it was a proof, until I saw the mint mark! (Of course, the glare doesn't help the pic!) The edge appears very rough from deterioration, and there are three vertical collar cracks spaced evenly apart from each other. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=bilate...:%20Vertical Edited by snailking1 11/07/2026 5:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
