DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 02:15 am Hmm...how does the incuse LIBERTY happen? When the die cap shifts and those letters are thicker, so they get indented into the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2742 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 08:35 am This is a genuine error. The obverse face was struck through the detached bottom of a late-stage die cap. The normally-oriented incuse design elements are characteristic of such errors. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 09:16 am Thanks Mike. When I viewed this coin all I saw was the mark across the center of the coin. Now looking back I can now see the LIBERTY and the shoulder. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 10:02 am ErrorCoins222..you where right and thanks for the link. I've read it before but totally forgot, thats the second time this has happened to me in the past couple weeks. I'm trying to cram to much info in the short time I been studying errors. And thats one of my favorite websites for errors, double . Oh well either way I've learned a good lesson. And thanks to Mike for confirming it also. I still would have been a bit leary of a new seller with a rare error and no returns at $1000 or better. Report this Post to the Staff
