coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/20/2006 10:47 am I don't think so. If that coin were weighed you would find it to be underweight. It is struck on a tapered planchet, and is a nice example of such. I don't know error values, but this is definitely worth far more than a Grease Filled Die strike, which would still have complete rims - and this one doesn't. Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 03/10/2006 2:12 pm Hi Georgiestar Welcome to the forum !! On this particular coin the rims are full height, and the Lettering that would be next to the rim is missing. which in simple terms means something else happened to cause those letters not to be there.
