sorry guys, my camera is of a lower quality and takes very poor quality photographs I can't get a clean picture  I can get close enough to tell it is a half dollar and that is about it, everything else is so blurry you cant tell if it,s the front or back i will try later to get a good picture, any ideas on value in the meantime? and hey I just found 19 more of them:) cool! and thanks, glad to be here:) Edited by simba86

the thing with coins is that condition is what drives the value. Before anyone can give a value on a specific coin they would need to see pictures of Both sides of the coin. If its an error like you mention they would need to see pictures of the effected areas to determine if it is what you think it is also before a value can be given. If you know someone that has a camera maybe you can borrow theirs and snap a couple pictures or have them do it for you if they don't want to let you borrow it Quote:
and hey I just found 19 more of them:) This is a good indication that its Machine Doubling. If they were that easy to find they would be worth 50ยข and nothing more |

Machine Doubling affects the devices more on larger denominations. Sounds like another image I need to create next time I find one.

It is machine damage to those devices. Note how you can see the metal striations on the left side of the devices. The devices are reduced in size. Look at WE.

Yes I know what it is, I thought you were looking for a photo to show machine damage on larger coins. I didn't realize how old this thread was when I posted this. I assume you already found what you were looking for.
