I'm having a hard time imagining how the upper edge of the coin could get worn away and leave that pprtion of the rim still there. So - maybe it did happen at the mint. But if it did - I don't know what did it __________________ knowledge ..... share it   05-20-2005, 08:51 AM   #3 (permalink) mikediamond Coin Collector   Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Illinois Posts: 1,203 This coin is so badly battered that, if there was an authentic error present, you can no longer tell. There's a chance it could have started out as a broadstrike.   05-20-2005, 09:27 AM   #4 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,595 My Mood: Alright....that is waht I needed to know!!!
