rattlesnake New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 7:02 pm I just opened an old unopened and unsearched roll of silver half dollars and came across a 1936 Walking Liberty with a striking error around the outside edge. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this type of error? I tried to upload photos but file size was too big, working on that. Report this Post to the Staff

rattlesnake New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 8:06 pm I inspected with a loop and it does not appear to be "man-made" damage. They are parts of actual letters and the patina seems to be the same. I have included the reverse side of the coin. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

rattlesnake New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 10:02 pm Thanks guys, I think you're right. No biggie, I'm new to coin collecting and I'll keep on hunting! Actually, based on this discussion, my wife just pulled out her lock box and presented a 1906 S $20 Double Eagle Liberty coin in near mint condition. She had no idea what it was! Ha ha! Our daughter to be's college fund. Report this Post to the Staff

She had no idea what it was! Ha ha! Our daughter to be's college fund. Now that's one I'd like to see pictures of. Look for a mint mark, on the bottom reverse just below the eagle's tailfeathers. The Philadelphia issue of that year is a rarity, and commands a pretty significant premium. To be honest, if it's planned for your child's college fund you probably want to liquidate it now while gold is high and invest the proceeds - coins don't make a really reliable interest-gaining investment.
