It means "Thanks in advance" Yes, I wasn't sure about other areas because not only do I not collect foreign coins, but I have never seen this...
[ATTACH] I found it in a 2001 Mixed P&D Mint Bag that was released in 2004. Chris
Go ahead and call me a liar because I said that I've seen hundreds similar to the OP's. Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean you're...
You're missing the point! Can't you see how bits and pieces of debris mixed with the grease? Chris
If it were a true doubled die, the digits would be slightly thicker than normal. I don't think it is a DDO. Chris
Just so I can learn, can you point out the area(s) of wear? Is the hair partly to blame? I ask this because we so often see weakness in the hair...

@tomfiggy It looks like die deterioration to me. Chris
@Sheila Ruley As the others said, it is a die chip, and if you were a "less-than-honest" seller on SleazeBay, you would probably call it a...
I don't sell on eBay, but I do have friends who have had bad experiences with new buyers. They've taken chances because the buyer seemed pleasant...
@Strozzie This is an easy one. Let's start with the obverse. The pipe and smoke rings were hammered into the face of the coin. Naturally, to...
It would only be "close" if the OP's was a die chip, but it does not look like a die chip. It looks more like a gouge. Chris
