tooboocoo Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 2:28 pm I'm a little confused if someone could help explain to me why ,just for example ,is the 1982 kenedy half dollar no FG considered an error,being the FG was removed by over polishing and Jefferson's pony tail ,being over polished removing some of the detail, not fall into the same category or something similar,this is one of the things I guess I'm having trouble understanding kind of like Mechanical Doubling but I'll get into that later again thanks to all participants Report this Post to the Staff
