coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 11:45 am I agree. Looks like the top of the "R" on LIBERTY moved itself toward the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 1:51 pm Probably in the $2 range. The silver value today is $1.344, the error would add some small amount to your coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 3:41 pm I think it might fetch a bit more than that because it doesn't have the damage on the reverse Report this Post to the Staff

The location, in such a prominent spot as well as being inside a device, makes it of particular interest. You may assume I'll be in at the end of your auction. I'd really like to get this one under my lenses. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 11:08 am Well, it isn't a huge extra-value error - I don't think I'd go $30 on it - but practically the whole obverse is coming loose and you don't often see such involvement deep into devices. I want to see if I can get enough magnification onto it to get underneath the lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
matttheriley Pillar of the Community United States 1512 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 2:10 pm Well, if it goes for more than $5, I'd be pleasantly surprised. Got a bid on it already and some lookers too! Report this Post to the Staff
