Nope, an S looks the same upside down or right side up. Try again.
That line would line up with the bridge of the nose on the bust on a clash. Kind of hard to tell on a coin that worn but my guess it's a clash.
Rubs on key dates usually get overlooked don't they? I think it gets a 64.
Agree with jallen. Seller didn't know what he had and if he would have put the correct description in the listing he would have gotten a lot more...
It can't be an impression of an S from another part of the coin, it would be backwards. If this were possible wouldn't the resulting letters be...
If you do this, post some better pics when you get the coin. We could give you a better idea of what it might grade.
A good rule of thumb for the uneducated is if you want a MS63 pay the money for a slabbed one. Buying a raw one for cheap and hoping it's a 63...
The seller has a 14 day return period. Buy it and see what you think.
I think you waited a bit too long to respond to aiden. This is what he looks like today. [IMG]

There are both curved and straight clips. A straight clip results from a blank being punched too close to the end of a strip.
Notches in the TY of LIBERTY look good. Nice find!
I can't imagine only signees will be able to bid on it. It should be open to everyone. The idea is to raise the most money possible. BTW, your...
I don't read or understand Russian either but you have some nice collectable rim to rim die cracks. Thanks for sharing.
I think it's a legit straight clip.
Looks like there's a slight bulge in the perimeter of the coin. And I think there's a little zinc showing on both sides. PMD.
On the first coin, I can't really tell. Could be a small struck through or corrosion. The second coin looks to be a gas bubble. There are lots of...
The coin in your link shows the doubling on the base of the 2 in the date. None of your images show a close up of the date. Without that, we...
There are still some old school dealers that don't beleive in slabbing. My local B&M is one.
So I can add it to the type set in a Capitol holder.
