Please add your own photos Blue.
I will have to remember that. I just don't hunt or see these coins very often. I thought it was die deterioration.
That makes cents too.
Actually this is a tilted die clash. It is strongest at the neck and top of the date. Sadly the clash was not strong enough to show a date on the...
Here is the above's sister, I used the same flip and card to try and emulate the toning. Didn't work.. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And by the way it makes my poll useless.
Huh, didn't know. Is this common?
