Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73852 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 1:15 pm Nice Off Center strike! I'll guess 70%. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 1:19 pm I'll say about the same, 65-70%. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19130 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 4:26 pm My snap reaction is 60%, no greater than 65%. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 4:54 pm I agree with 60-65% too. Report this Post to the Staff
Pappy54 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 3:10 pm Thanks to all for the input, especially the animation. Any ideas as to what something like mine would sell for? Is is better to invest in TPG COMPANY on these? I read more value is attributed if the date is visible on the off strikes. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25036 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 3:46 pm Pappy, maybe $20? Certainly not enough to warrant getting it certified. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
