I say XF details environmental damage. Net VF 25.
Looks like that set of dies is pretty cheap. Only about $150 USD. [ATTACH]
Your going to need a few of these too. :smuggrin: [ATTACH]

I would be extremely surprised if that coin graded at anything above a 64. It has far too many dings and scratches. I have circled a few of the...
Was looking to purchase a 1916-D dime and stumbled across this one. It is a very, very blatant fake and the seller is being very stubborn....
