Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 3:36 pm It's not a floating roof cent. You can see line on the right side clearly. There should be no hint of the line on either side if it's a floating roof. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 3:43 pm Just to add to that, "floating roofs" are kind of a gimmick in my opinion. It's just a very moderate die abrasion issue seen on many later die stage coins from that year (and others). They aren't scarce, just a way for unscrupulous coin roll hunters to turn a profit by dumping some of their side "finds" on newer collectors on ebay.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 8:54 pm I too agree. Even if it was a floating roof, there is no longer a premium on them since so many have been found. Report this Post to the Staff
