Shawn Murray New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 10:44 pm I in LIBERTY is crooked, is this an error, or is it just caused from wear? L is pretty funky too, but I'm pretty sure that's just due to wear. I did a close crop & used straight lines drawn in Photoshop to illustrate the angle of the I The red line is perfectly parallel with the back of the B, the green line is perfectly parallel with the red line & therefore should be parallel to the I, but you can see it's even with the I at the bottom, but there's a gap up top. So, error, or wear ? Report this Post to the Staff

Shawn Murray New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/01/2014 3:10 pm here's the full obverse: No rim distortion, but I was thinking more damage or wear instead of error anyway. Just wanted to make sure that was indeed the case before I tossed it into a 'bag-o-Wheaties'! Thanks for the rapid replies :) Report this Post to the Staff
