Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 07/10/2007 8:42 pm My Cherrypicker's guide is still in the mail so I can't look it up for you to see if such a thing exists. You might have better luck with one of the error guys in the "Variety and Error Coin Forum" on this site. Report this Post to the Staff
