srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3240 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 1:14 pm This isn't my pic, I'll post mine once the coin arrives. I thought the die break on the reverse was pretty neat. Would love to know everyone's thoughts on grade and variety if possible. Once I have the coin at home I'll try to attribute it as well. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 1:22 pm Variety is N-5 R3+. Looks to have a large planchet flaw on the reverse, lamination error? Looks VF to me with scratches on the obverse. Edited by EFLargeCents 05/21/2014 1:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

How rare is this variety and does it add any premium to the coin? Thanks again for the quick response. Report this Post to the Staff
EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 1:43 pm I think you need a rarity higher than 5 before there is much of a premium. This one is only a high 3. Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 05/22/2014 05:35 am An R3, in my experience, allows you to sell the coin more easily than if it was an R1 or R2. Many would prefer an R3 over something 'very common', especially when it doesn't cost more. Most of my collection is R3's. Report this Post to the Staff
