bobsbillions Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 08/31/2012 11:04 am I came up with these coins recently, and can't quite figure out what to make of them by myself. I think the 1963-D shows doubling on the I in LIBERTY especially, and the reverse 1978 has a flat O on ONE. Should I toss em' back? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 1:25 pm The flat 0 is caused from a coin wrapper. The devices are always distorted parallel to the rim with this kind of damage. Report this Post to the Staff
