<p>[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 1883907, member: 39129"]I just picked this ol' gal up at auction last week and can't quite figure out what is going on! There is a scratch in the middle on her leg (which is why I had it for a good price), but there are a few oddities here. First I'll point out what I believe is a grease filled die that nearly blocks out the "F" in OF on the reverse. Second item in question are the denticles, which are almost concave from the 6 O'clock position to the 8 O'clock position on the obverse flanked by a really sharp (almost off-center?) edge. Last but not least is likely post mint damage going along the reeded edge. But it looks so perfect.....like two pieces sandwiched together from one angle! Am I just whistling dixie? Don't know a whole lot about errors so if anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated!</p><p>Thank you![ATTACH=full]320055[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]320056[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]320057[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]320058[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]320059[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
