The 1 on the date is weak, especially on the bottom half and further more, there is a dot under the "R" in Ragina. Is this anything significant? Sorry I have no pictures...I did try but my camera is pathetic for coin photography. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Lincoln2403 New Member Australia 36 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 05:14 am Is someone able to clarify something for me? The Renniks guide puts the 1961 coin I have at around $5. But the Renniks variety guide lists my coin (with the dot below the R) as being v.scarce. My question is, how does this affect the value of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
