ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19122 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 09:22 am Appears to be a floating roof, given the posted pics. An artifact of 'aggressive' die polishing. Extreme lovers of die polishing issues might be willing to pay a dollar of two--maybe more if the coin was in uncirculated condition. Might be fun to keep it as an example for reference purposes. Value won't cover the cost of a Costco membership. Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 09:44 am Right side looks good but from images provided, looks like some residuals remain on left. These are everywhere and as 44 states, keep this one for reference. You'll be able to find an UNC in no time if looking for it. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 12:38 pm Floating roofs are caused by over polishing the dies. Just a spender to me, as it's very common. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
