Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/11/2008 9:13 pm found this going thru cent rolls. I have a box full of small strike thrus, but everything pales in comparison to this. Image: img020.jpg 94.97 KB Image: img021.jpg 94.64 KB I know little a bout these. Avg strike thrus have little value. does a coin like this create any value? Jim Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/11/2008 9:32 pm Yes, some. Probably no more than $10-$15 in that grade. If found in GEM, it would be worth quite a bit more. BTW, it's a 2000 by all appearances. One year "slug lips" type. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/11/2008 9:44 pm Tough question, Chuck. I have read about it a long time ago so this is a guess with dim memory applied. The rim would not bee complete and have proper depth. Also, I seem to remember that the detail in the highest relief points would be weak or non-existent. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

The face, actually the entire bust would be flat and without markable detail if this were a die trial strike missing this much of the outer lettering. Report this Post to the Staff
