Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 4:38 pm I came across this around 1969 or 1970. I always assumed it was a mint error. I've been learning a lot here and the one thing I know for sure is that I still have a lot to learn. So, I can no longer assume it is a mint error. I read up a little on the Blakely effect and I think I see it but I would truly appreciate some expert opinions. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 9:15 pm Thank you all for taking a look and for you comments. This coin has a lot of sentimental value to me. I know it's silly, but I'm getting it slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is some great detail on the Blakesley Effect and clips: http://board.conecaonline.org/showt...d.php?t=2600 Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/04/2012 5:57 pm The coin is with NGC. A couple of guys from my coin club figured out how to save a bunch of money by making a BIG submission -- which meant everyone in the club needed to pool their submissions. I just picked out a couple that had sentimental value to me. I found this when I was 14 or 15....a long, long time ago. Anyway, I don't know if error coins get a grade. I just wanted to keep it safe and have it verified by the pros. I might get it back the first week of June. If not then, I won't see it until August because the club doesn't meet during July.
