just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 9:22 pm Agree. You should try for a closer photo of the date. Almost looks like 1907 from the photo. Now that would really make that one rare. Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 9:23 pm Yeah, that looks like a 1957-D. It's either post mint damage or struck through debris, can't really differentiate off these pics. Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 06:12 am It looks like a '57D with a hit on the 5. Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 06:42 am That is a 57-D with damage,no doubt. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 11:05 am Also possibly a 1837 or 1857. Is that photo blurry or is the Liberty sort of doubled too. It sure does look like post Mint damage though. Report this Post to the Staff
