Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 03:55 am I would hang on to it and place it with my other mint errors or mistakes. You also may want to back off a little in your pictures. Being in focus would be nice. Report this Post to the Staff
andrew22 Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 04:03 am ok sorry about that sounds good. one more thing what if that line was not raised what would it be then? Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 04:11 am If the line was not raised, that would most likely indicate debris on the die when it was stuck. I think that would have also affected the other design features, namely the letters. Report this Post to the Staff
