IHPO8S Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 01/20/2008 5:48 pm The right side of the reverse has some of the detail of the coin missing. The front is complete. The little mark on the front is just a shadow. Also the coin is not perfectly round. Is this a legitamite errror coin? Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 01/21/2008 6:43 pm Hi All, I made some adjustments to the picture to lighten it for the original poster. It is quite apparent that a hammer had something to do with this after the coin left the Mint. See the picture below... Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
IHPO8S Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 01/22/2008 11:16 am There is one spot on the rim that is thinner then the rest. that is were the coin is out of round. I tend to agree that this coin was played with. A hammer I dont think so maybe some kind of press. Thanks for all the comments and the retouch of the pic. Report this Post to the Staff
