Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 5:40 pm Is that the true color of the coin? I see some attachment on the right of the coin. A overpolished die like this is only worth a premium in MS/BU condition. No premium here. Report this Post to the Staff
allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 6:38 pm Oldfordman The color is close. The coin was pretty dull and these color signals in the single Chip cameras use a Bayer filter to generate Red Blue & Green levels to derive a color image. Professional cameras have three chips to generate a true color image. You get what you pay for! Report this Post to the Staff

Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 9:57 pm I have 2 one in au-55 and the other a MS-62-63 range I found crh. I find plenty worse ones but those go to the copper scrap bucket. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 10:35 pm I would say it qualifies as a "floating roof." In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 11:18 am But just a common over polishing issue. You can see this on many die examples during that time. Back the die punisher worked there. Many of the dies that year showed a thinned over polished digit on the '1' I just consider these as die events. The die was normal and then altered by a mint worker. Report this Post to the Staff
