Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 04/25/2021 2:56 pm @cc, yes perhaps a whisper left remaining but seemingly pretty close. If you take pics before putting the coins in 2x2s, then it is a bit easier to see.

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 04/25/2021 3:44 pm @cc, I know you tried to post that other pic hear and couldn't but best practice is to open only one thread per coin. NO big deal though and it gave me a chance to try out @bobby's "merge threads" functionality. When I blow up your pics, it looks like a tiny bit of the upright is visible to the left. Of course, save the coin if you want to--its a good example of the die being given new life following a clash.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/25/2021 11:09 pm I agree with all of the above, no floating roof. Classic examples show absolutely no connecting lines. Keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/25/2021 11:13 pm The mintmark location for the ones listed on PCGS is like this: They stop grading these as they are very common to find. I know you would never see me offering nothing above face value. They are just a die event, I'm a die variety collector. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 09:01 am Second what Coop said. Even if it were a "floating roof," these are not rare and are of very little numismatic interest. Report this Post to the Staff
