KingFridayXIII New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 09:11 am Hello, I just purchased the following coin on ebay, mostly because of what is going on with the "1" in the date "1966." What is this? Do I have something here? (from link just click "see original listing") Thanks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Silver-Dol...dZdQ6H4%253D Edited by KingFridayXIII 02/09/2020 09:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 09:26 am this coin has a lot of hits on it, the D is also damaged. there are scratches in the field of northern lights, there is a big hit just above the canoe.. I don't think you will be happy with this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
KingFridayXIII New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 09:36 am Thanks everyone. It certainly has lots of hits. The mark under the "1" looked too straight and uniform to be damage but that's okay, it still has silver content so I'm happy! Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 8:15 pm Rocky ... "rare" is a pretty optimistic description to apply to a very common 1966 dollar. Be careful/leery about whose opinion that you take or the info that you pass along. Edited by okiecoiner 02/10/2020 7:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
