CMT888 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/23/2015 9:03 pm Hello All, My name is Michael, I recently came into possession of a box of old coins, left by my grandfather. I stumbled across this coin and did not pay much attention to it until I researched that errors in coins can add value. I can not seem to find the appropriate description for these types of errors seen on this coin. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what these, if they are errors are? On the back side of the coin is a horizontal and vertical raised "post" approximately 1.25-1.75mm long and 1mm high above the rim. The others are three raised sections along the rim, each approximately 1-1.5mm long. Any information regarding this is appreciated, thank you for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
