fiddler Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 02/18/2008 4:01 pm I was wondering if this is an error or damage on the date of this coin. If it's an error is there any value to it? Thanks for your help Image: 38centobverse.jpg 90.73 KB Edited by fiddler 02/18/2008 4:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If you can post a larger picture of the date area, it sure would help. Zach, no disrespect meant. Edited by MorgansRmine 02/18/2008 4:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 02/19/2008 2:45 pm Hi Fiddler, There is a depression above the 1 and the appearance of metal having been moved in the areas of the 1 and the 9. I call these a post mint damage of unknown origin. That means that the coin was damaged in some way that is impossible to identify specifically. It's not an error or a variety though. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
