Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 1:03 pm I've had this coin for years and just recently looked at it under the scope and it has an anomaly on the back of the buffalo that runs into the E pluribus enum. It also has what looks like VLDS lines(in yellow). Any advice is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 1:21 pm Thank you! So it's not a 22,but it's a twenty something! LOL! Another question. Just below the 2 on the date it appears there is a F stamped into the coin. Does this mean anything? Or would this be PMD? Edited by Newbie234 08/15/2017 1:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 1:52 pm If your curiosity is killing your cat, give it a bath in 50% vinegar and 50% hydrogen peroxide for 4-12 hours. That will acid raise a date. Now, that does destroy/damage the coin and any worth, but you will raise enough to tell what the date is. An unknown date P mint isn't worth that much. Report this Post to the Staff

Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 2:12 pm The date doesn't mean that much to me. But the clash doesn't add any value? Report this Post to the Staff
