Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 10:58 pm HI everyone! Found this and figured I'd ask if it's anything special before I cut it loose back to the wild. As the title it has a weak 0 in the date and even weaker LI in liberty. On the reverse seems there's a plating issue where the memorial is outlined in silver (zinc showing) as well as some of the lettering. Hopefully these pictures are good enough to see what I'm talking about. Is it a keeper? Never seen something else quite like it could all just be PMD wear for all I know but it caught my eye and figured I'd ask about it. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 11:36 pm Extreme strong strike on the coin, the reverse plating split. The obverse die had some grease on the bust area, preventing the full strike. Edited by coop 07/28/2019 11:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 07/29/2019 10:29 am Thank you Coinfrog, I think I'm getting better at picture taking finally. LOL I probably will keep it just to keep it as a reference piece, at least until the zinc start really rotting. Report this Post to the Staff
