Too bad the reverse is damaged What value does it have? If it is a die cap it is the first one I have found. Thanks all,John1 Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 09:54 am I think "WE TRUST" would not be that clear if it was struck by a capped die.Very nice Greaser. Edited by DrDon 12/26/2013 11:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 10:08 am To me it looks like an indent of the memorial building on the obverse which I thought was an indicator of a die cap. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe Mike or Jason could shed more light on this. Report this Post to the Staff
