First, not sure if this is post mint or what, but allot of light letters/numbers on it: Next: looks like an extra bow tie The mark is raised and definitely part of the coin. Are these common errors?   03-19-2008, 01:48 PM   #2 (permalink) PhoenixTool Member   Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 52 Come on, nobody has an opinion on these?   03-19-2008, 02:15 PM   #3 (permalink) Oldman Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 604 I dont know what im looking at? The large Ding next to Abes bowtie? I might be wrong, but it looks like a scraped up sliver.   03-19-2008, 07:03 PM   #4 (permalink) PhoenixTool Member   Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 52 Yep. It's not a ding though, but a rasied part of the coin.   03-19-2008, 09:44 PM   #5 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,646 The light strike is not unusual at all, but the second might be an embedded strike through error. Those are not common at all. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   03-19-2008, 10:19 PM   #6 (permalink) PhoenixTool Member   Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 52 Uncommon enough to have sent to a TPG service? I'd love to get an expert opinion on it.....but don't really have any locals to inquire with.   03-19-2008, 10:43 PM   #7 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,646 My rule of thumb is that if a coin is not worth $100 - $150 then it's not worth spending the money to have it slabbed. But somebody else will have to offer an opinion on value for this one as I have no idea. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
