killians76 Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 11:28 pm here is one that I found with the last number of the date like yours, they told me nice find and to hold on to it.. they also told me that it could be a "die trial" but Bill informed me that it has the rim on it which signifies that it made it to a step that die trials dont make it to, so if it has a rim on it and looks somewhat like a Grease Filled Die it cant be a die trial, just so you know. wait on the pro's for more input. http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/...ure012-1.jpg http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/...ure013-1.jpg Edited by killians76 02/01/2009 08:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/01/2009 08:59 am How much is significant? That's a good question to which there isn't much of a good answer. There are a large number of examples - into the tens of millions at least - in pocket change right now. I would sayt he top ten percent are the ones to go after. What is the top ten percent? Generally ones that have at least half of the lettering and design obliterated by globs of gunk. Anything less, although interesting enough, would be too common to warrant much, if any premium value.
