It took me a few tries to get good pictures, so I hope they're clear. Thank you all so much for your expertise. I'm learning more every day. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/14/2023 1:55 pm These are just part of the die aging process. Not a premium for these at all. These are die events. Part of the aging process. When you see these and your eye know that they are, you can move on to the next coin as there is not a premium for these. Report this Post to the Staff
