my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 06:39 am Is this coin a "keeper"? Some foreign matter is minted into the coin, partially obscuring its date. Please tell me, or give a link which tells, the background and popularity of this type of mint error. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 08:02 am Sounding reasonable, yours is likely a better explanation. There are very small openings along the line, dispersed like a skipping stone might travel. They are tiny cracks opposed to any kind of blow-out -- if that is a relevant factor.

my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 2:49 pm Is this error one that increases the coins value, or perhaps one that guarantees it will never exceed its face value? Report this Post to the Staff
