Abhgroup New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 08/23/2013 9:57 pm Hey, I bought this coin off of the bay a few days ago based on some questionable photographs. From what I could tell the coin looked fine. After examining it tonight I noticed that the letters od w are nearly gone. The spot where they should be is a bit raised. I looked through most of the popular VAMS for an 87 P but couldn't find anything, so I thought I would ask the community. I've been lurking here for a while soaking in everything I can. Thanks for your help. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/100729...photostream/ Edited by Abhgroup 08/23/2013 10:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Funny thing is, it was those exact same letters. There must be something special about that particular area of the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
