I was rummaging through my LCS junk silver dollar box and found this. At first I thought it was worn, but then I looked closer. It looks struck though. Any idea on the date, and what the value is as an error? Maybe I'll just assume it's an 8?  Thanks!      |

Looks like 1924 to me IMHO. Nice find!

Cool one, kinda reminds me of that picture in back to the future where they were disappering. I like it!

This is more than a little cool. I have to think about it a bit and revisit.

I'm wondering if I should send it in for grading?

Someone else mentioned 1924... From the looks of one of the pictures, I saw what looks like a 4.

Definitely 1924, NO doubt!

1924 in my opinion. I also think that this coin is amazingly cool looking.

Right now my leaning is more Greaser than something more solid, but I'm still only a single step past "clueless." |

What do you think about having it graded. I spent $24 on it as is. Would TPG create enough additional value to justify the expense? |

This one's heavily brushed and playing on the missing details. I think it more valuable raw in the retail market.

It's a melt coin if we can't come up with something plausible for the missing detail. One possible explanation is all that stuff got ground off manually for some reason. There is what looks like "hair" flowing downward at the back of the head. Is there any vertical dimensionality to that, or is it just an area of different color?

Ya SD, I was thinking that too because of the pattern to the striations but it wasn't mentioned so I dismissed it. You would think with almost the entire date gone it would have been pulled and hoarded by even the average Joe before it passed through enough hands to look that circulated on the obv? I'd through a few bucks to see what a big 3 would say though if it were mine
*maybe a guy used it with another one putting both obverses together between thumb and fingers rolling the two together as a stress reliever kinda like those Chinese stress balls?

Hi Dave and Cascade, The area at the back of the head doesn't appear to have any vertical dimensionality to it.   Dave, if I sent it to you would you be willing to look at it closer, or do you know a forum member who would be better suited for the task? I don't mind sending it in to a TPG, but I'd rather not waste money trying to slab a PMD coin. And I just don't have the expertise on error coins in general to know the difference well enough to differentiate between the two. Thanks you guys! |

Well that shoots my theory of coin rubbing out. I missed that, doh. I still don't like the look of those hairlines or the way they jump the devices like that though. That said I am only an intermediate and this requires an expert level diagnosis.
