nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 10:22 pm I found an unusual coin while roll hunting, but am not sure if its a legit error or post mint damage. the reverse looks normal but here is the obverse. Is this a legitimate error, and if it is, is it worth a premium? Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 10:33 pm Wow...that's a bit complicated. I see the reverse design here--is it in relief like obverse details? Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 10:34 pm Nod, This is a very interesting looking coin, at 1st I would say it appears to be a rotated clashed die having plating exfoliating problems, then again, I wish I could see the coin in my hand to really be able to tell, what ever, for sure a keeper....

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 10:46 pm would glue explain the non-uniformity of the rim? Report this Post to the Staff
nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 10:54 pm On closer inspection, the reverse appears to have some issues from 6 to 12 o'clock out near the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 11:04 pm It is glue. There is no doubt about it. A solvent will remove it. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
Jazzcoins Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 03/21/2009 09:52 am I would say glue if you look at the surface of the coin you could see air bubbles from the glue JAZEC Edited by Jazzcoins 03/21/2009 09:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
