westoncm New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 10:02 pm As you see two photos below, I had to examine from different angles. By looking at the S (after United), it seems that the letter S has been depressed incorrectly after the die or is it misprint. Not sure but feels it may be worth having it appraised for verification. What is your Two Cents worth? No puns intended here but maybe it is worth a cent...Haha! Edited by westoncm 08/31/2018 10:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 10:06 pm @westoncm, better close-up pics would help, but based on what I can see when I blow up this area and enhance the detail it just looks to me like a well-placed hit. If so that PMD would only serve to decrease the value of this coin. I'm interested to hear what others say, but I'd personally save my money and not send this coin to a TPG.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74846 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 10:10 pm Just damage on that area. It's post Strike Damage (meaning it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). I also wouldn't send it in to a TPG, as it would be a complete waste of money. It will cost much more than what your coin is actually worth. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 5:13 pm That's a damaged coin, with the damage occurring after the coin was minted. KK Report this Post to the Staff

westoncm New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 11:40 pm Thanks everyone for your input. Spending money for eval is not worth. Just to appreciate the value of its coin value and the value of everyone's input. Report this Post to the Staff
