MetalEarth Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 01/15/2023 9:33 pm Is posting once a day as I learn in this forum to often? The filled in P is a pretty popular error, but I didn't know if the die crack next to it would help its value, if it has any. I'm trying to discern what is worthy of setting aside (beyond my personal preferences) and what needs to be tossed back into circulation. So much more reading to do. Anyway, I'm talking too much.

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 01/15/2023 9:38 pm @sil, to me, this looks more like a thin cut in the coin that has piled up metal next to it rather than a die crack. It is a little hard to know for sure though with this level of circulation wear. Added: I also wanted to make specific mention of your pics as they are well above average, especially for someone with only six posts. Well done.
