kcowin797 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 3:36 pm Curious on this one how much age and wear hurt the value of an error coin. Where is the line drawn and it becomes a tosser? Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 3:48 pm That coin is a keeper for sure! That's a major RPM (FS-501 I think.) I saw one of these sell for about $40 just this past week. Give it a good acetone soak and then 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
kcowin797 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 3:52 pm Thanks Seeker, very much appreciated. What are the instuctions for an acetone soak? Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 3:56 pm Just 100% pure acetone from any hardware store. I would soak it for at least a day to loosen and remove dirt. Acetone won't hurt the coin. Just make sure to use a container you can seal as it evaporates very quickly. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 03/30/2025 2:24 pm Congrats on a very nice find. FWIW- This coin is considered a variety (not an error) since there are generally more than 1 exactly like this one. The variety is because of a deviation on the die, not any kind of striking error. An error coin is generally unique and there will only be one exactly like it. Again, that is a very nice variety. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
