Scrappy Valued Member United States 146 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 11:02 pm I can see that there's a floating roof. But it said that it was a possible double die but I don't really see it. Does anybody else see it? Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 11:09 pm I'm not sure it would count as a floating roof. I can see a possible line still connecting the right side. It may be a die abrasion, but I can't tell for sure. Let's see what the real experts think. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 09/01/2022 11:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 7:54 pm Just a die event. The polishing of the die weakens the sub devices, like the initials, 'FG', roof edges (because of die clashing) and the statue as well. Not really a premium for the coin, as it happens on all coin struck with that die, until it is retired. So these are thought of as a premium, but they are just die polishing.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 9:16 pm pretty nice floating roof - due to an over polished die, but nice none-the-less. 2x2 worthy for your personal collection. Too bad about all the scratches though. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 9:40 pm Is nice to have in own collection, but not value for this. No one recognize like an error or variety, except the blushing sellers on ebay, Esty. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 01:48 am I would not classify this as a floating roof, as you can see a line attachment on the right side. Plus, as mentioned, the over polished true variety really has little or no value, sorry. It's the scratches on the obverse that really ruin this coin. Was someone trying to clean it?
