the guy who had this had it with 3 other error coins (missing edge letters) which i would not even take at face value, once in a holder, you cannot even see the error, he wanted like 600.00 for the lot, i asked him to slice this guy off the top and i bought it from him at a reasonable price 9did this before with a similar lot of error dimes and got my first unc o/c merc. that way) anyways enjoY
