John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 6:37 pm I think it's a capped die error, could be a Grease Filled Die. Will wait for a pro to answer. Nice find. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 8:36 pm Thanks for the responses! :D I had a question about if there would be any way to determine the mint this was produced at? Report this Post to the Staff

amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 8:44 pm LOL Mechman!! too funny. I was talking about the reverse of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 9:00 pm I believe all the dies were produced in Philly until 1995 when the Denver die shop was opened. Report this Post to the Staff
amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 9:16 pm I was looking at the reverse of the coin and noticed what looks like an "N" on the stairs. I have circled this in the pic. Is that normal? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 05:03 am The "N" on the reverse looks like PMD. The mint mark looks like a D so the coin was minted at Denver and the dies were made at Philly. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
