Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 7068 Posts	Posted Today 4H 46M ago My first thought on this coin would be a Greaser, but I don't see the typical bumpy fields around the lettering. Given that bicentennial quarter dies were known for die clashes and heavy polishing, perhaps some overzealous engraver removed the delicate top of the T? Report this Post to the Staff

Roller42 Valued Member United States 210 Posts	Posted Today 3H 46M ago Great find! If it is over polished I would expect to see more of them. If it's a Greaser, probably not. I will definitely add it to my "look for" list. "I like money. I can't believe you like money, too. We should hang out."
