Lorigirls New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 11:57 pm Hey all was hoping someone can do a second look for me thinking the 1969 is missing initials on reverse and the 1968 is missing letters on reverse ? Second opinions?thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 12:11 am The 1968 is a grease filled strike, is a common occurrence. The 1969 is also a common problem, polishing the die takes off the layers making the devices shallower until they disappear. Note the roof area (yellow), this is called a "floating roof" error, but is so common it has no special value. Where'd Abe go? Edited by Crazyb0 05/22/2018 12:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
