Is this what I think it is. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 09/11/2017 8:49 pm The Memorial Pillars you see on the front is called a Die Clash. And the "Floating Roof" error is caused by an over polished die. :) Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

And no, that's not a "floating roof, both sides must be COMPLETELY polished off, even a hint doesn't cut it, I've found many, many 69D & 70D that are the allllllmmmooost, "missed it by that much" variety!
