akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 03/02/2008 1:34 pm Hi, I looked through some more coins..... Here's what I see and I'd sure like your opinions. The I in DEI is less styleized and points to the denticle making this a shoulder fold. The post that I was reading that put me on to looking for these stated that this only changed the value in higher grade coins. Does this change the value of my coin or should I look at this a good practice in finding the same thing on better coins? And does this same standard hold true for the nickle? Thanks, Glen Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/02/2008 1:57 pm That's a '53 SF! From what I've read, this variety is a bit scarce, and only commands premiums in the higher grades. I think Charest has undervalued this variety, but Charlton's only has prices in AU or better, where the AU SF is listed at $8 vs $1 for the NSF variety. The reverse of your coin is interesting because there's some kind of strike error that's left marks of the denticles in the rim of the coin...I haven't seen that before.

akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 03/02/2008 7:11 pm Thanks Kurt, It was your list of key dates on another post that got me going on identifying what I have. I had noticed that the strike looked to be off center but with very limited exposure to looking at coins suspected that this was a common occurrence. I took another picture of the area I believe you're talking about. How common are error such as this? Report this Post to the Staff

It is an interestiong coin, tho'. I doubt it has any extra value because of the feature. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
