I noticed on this one the L I B in liberty is way off. I don't see any damage that caused this. No scratch marks or grooves. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 12/28/2017 05:54 am @Yanks, I agree with @spruette that this is most likely just damage. You are right that there don't appear to be any scratches or grooves, but the metal has been squished as if from an impact.

yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 12/28/2017 10:01 am Thanks everyone. I was so focused on the Liberty that I overlooked the other letters. I give you guys credit. I was into Wheat and copper collecting for the last few years and just now really gave these coins a look for errors or varieties. This is work!! Thanks again for the info... onto the next pile. The 1944 pile seems to never end. Report this Post to the Staff
