With the popular modern commems, once the price has stabilized, it rarely changes much. At least this has been the case for the past 25 yrs or so....
And you didn't take pics to share ? :eek: :eek:
The '48-S was weakly struck to begin with - so that is not what limits the grade. But it does appear to me that the coins does have some wear. I...
I am inclined to agree with you in that it happened at the mint. It appears to have been some kind of struck through error.
I rather suspect there will be a non-paying bidder ont his one ;)
Now that makes more sense. It doesn't change anything regarding the coin being fake - that it is a given based on the legends. But it does help...
