amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 01/04/2022 6:06 pm Found this while coin roll hunting. I don't know how rare this is and I would like to know if this should be kept in a flip or possibly slabbed? The condition of the coin makes me question the slab option. Thank you!

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7510 Posts	Posted 01/04/2022 6:25 pm Struck through dropped letters are rare occurrence and do carry a premium above the face value, but your coin's condition would not justify the cost of TPG cost. Very nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 01/04/2022 6:33 pm It is in good condition so keep it in a slip. Search the internet to see if any have sold, especially ebay. Nice find! I have never seen one either. Edited by VestigeWolf 01/04/2022 6:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/05/2022 3:49 pm Note that it is incuse. (the tops of the letters are showing the glow and on the incuse mark the glow is on the bottom of the 'y'. To me it looks like a coin transfer because of the damage on the tops of the other devices on LIBERTY. PSD from what I can see. Report this Post to the Staff
