I know that it is %72 silver and about .64 troy ounces. But my question is, what is this 'lump' on the rim of the coin? It looks like a leak from the die, caused by a defective die? It's confusing me...and to be honest, I want to know if this error, the rarity of this coin, and age give it a nice premium value? Would love any help I could get! Your thought? Condition/Error Opinion/Value. Thank you * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Melt value only for this poor thing, I'm afraid. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
