HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24939 Posts	Posted 03/18/2025 9:00 pm to the CCF, RBJ259! I agree with Errers and Varieties - it appears that your coin was struck by a grease-filled die. While there is a numismatic premium associated with it, it's very slight for such a minor example. However, it's a nice find and a keeper, as the cost of ownership is low. By the way, it's possible to take great pictures with a phone - see Earle42's method which is used by many people here on the CCF: http://goccf.com/t/422658 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
