Note the size of the motto and Liberty devices. They are smaller. That tells me that the die had gone through a few clashes and polishing that reduced the size of the devices and possibly a partial fill on the 'L' making absent from your coin. But no premium for this. More of a "Show and tell item" to show to new collectors. I would think it would be out of line to spend $50 to have something slabbed, that is worth face value. But some people do that away. I'd rather invest what it would cost, into a coin that is worth a lot more down the road. This one will always be worth face value, but the money to have it slabbed, will never be returned to you. For me it a coin is slabbed, I pay nothing extra for it. Book price is all I'd ever offer. How many coins Have I sent into a grading company? None. But that is just just how I feel about these child proof containers. Edited by coop 04/02/2021 7:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 9:02 pm Looking again, it might not be a grease issue. Not the 'I' how much smaller it is than next to the other devices. So that device could have been totally polished off. They have a real die enforcer back them He did a big number on a few dies during his time there: Note the '1' on this one how it is thinned. Another example of over polishing is this one: The same worked may have over polished several of these dies during that time period, even the OP's coin. Report this Post to the Staff
