The pictures don't do it justice, it's got lots of luster in hand and very little wear. First question, at what point do multiple errors just make it a crappy coin? Or do lots of issues actually multiply the 'neato' factor? Also, is this a die that was about to die? If so, I'm thinking it must have fallen apart after striking this coin.

The Department of Munitions and Supply, and the Wartime Industries Control Board are established. 1941, Wage and price controls in place. Commodities rationed, War declared on Finland, Hungary, Japan and Romania. Report this Post to the Staff
