    I have to agree with Jazzcoins Joe!! I was skeptical at first, but you can see a very tiny hairline on the top of the coin (left side) starting at the G in God and extending to just above the L in Liberty. GOOD EYE JOE!! I don't know how you spotted this one. Here are some pics that will hopefully help you guys see what we're seeing.

    Oh, and I got this one off of ebay for a pretty reasonable price, or at least, I don't consider $0.99 to be too pricey = D

    Take a pic of the coin straight on and then we'll see if it's a MAD strike or not. Keep something else in mind - finning.

    I thought about the possibility of finning, but would finning show up on both sides (top obverse and bottom reverse)? I looked at the reverse and saw that there was the same tiny band along the bottom rim. What do you think?

    Well I must say I thing that's what it is I went on the first pics .and the first pics looked liked a misaligned die that;s what fooled me.Now the pics have changed yes it is finning and they can occur on both sides.
