Dearborn Moderator United States 98440 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 3:23 pm a little fuzzy with the focus, but as stated, it could be either a broken post on the 8 or just a plating blister caused by zinc dust.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 1:17 pm Actually this is a broken post issue, but the post broke off below the fields. Thus why the center of the '8' is showing a metal distortion way above the mintmark. While unique looking, no premium you might save it for a show and tell for a new collector? Hard to find them later on when you want to show one. Put these items into a large tube and you will have something new to show to a new collector. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15555 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 2:58 pm Agreed this has no additional numismatic premium - keep it as a curiosity if you like it. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 04:16 am I'm thinking broken post as well. Sorry, no premium I'm afraid. Report this Post to the Staff
