Attachment 61094 rotflol! That was funny. As far as the letter goes, I see what you are talking about, but I have no clue what it is. Maybe a die chip? __________________ “Punishment is the way in which society expresses its denunciation of wrongdoing and, in order to maintain respect for law, it is essential that the punishment inflicted for grave crimes should adequately reflect the revulsion felt by the great majority of citizens for them.” Lord Justice Denning of the Court of Appeals in the United Kingdom   10-30-2009, 11:50 PM   #9 (permalink) foundinrolls Roll Searching Enthusiast     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Washington State Posts: 2,128 Hi, You won't want to necessarily hear this but...It's another case of some extraneous mark or damage that happens to look like a shape, convincing you that it is something other than an extraneous mark caused by almost anything. It isn't anything worthwhile.

But really, dosnt it look like something? maybe a (9). how about the rest of the coin ? looks like a die clash. on the jacket   10-31-2009, 10:43 AM   #11 (permalink) jcuve Lincoln variety fanatic     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: New York Posts: 530 Grandpa's hat...hilarious...

Whatever that mark is plus the circulation wear wouldn't put this coin anywhere near MS 67, let alone MS-68. This coin wouldn't even make MS-60....I am just trying to figure out how the comment makes any sense at all.

Thanks, Bill The hat shape that is on the base of the coin to the right of VDB and in worn our die in 1978 do not command any $$$. and that MS67RD or MS68RD are the rarer coin to find __________________ No one knows everything & I agree to disagree at times ***The only dumb question is the one not asked***   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
