It looks like a MAD, but the tops of the letters of "In God" have been cut into instead of the rim just being thicker. The pic of "ONE" was taken in case the reverse of the area in question was needed. I know "ONE" shows signs of MD along the bottom of the letters. Thanks all! Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 11/04/2013 11:56 am It's a die attrition error. The groove you see is the impression of a burr that formed along the edge of the worn-away die face. Burrs form in a small percentage of such errors. Error coin writer and researcher.

I'm not planning on trying to sell it anyway as I am going to try to complete as much of the error/variety checklist as I can, until I kick off anyway. Is there any value to this type of error? The third pic on this link is very similar: http://www.error-ref.com/peripheral...-damage.html Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 11/04/2013 2:02 pm Small die attrition errors have negligible value. Large ones can cost a fair amount of money. That said, I've never seen one sold under a correct description. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
