[QUOTE="Adam B, post: 1931061, member: 71150"]Hey everyone, I just had a renewed interest in coins so I went though my coin collection that I had as a kid and I came across a 1936 Walking Liberty that has a couple of features that caught my attention: Obverse side: [LIST] [*]Has a dent at 3 o'clock and also a crack/line that goes into the rim [*]Where the 'Y' should be(you can actually barely see the bottom part of it) it looks like the metal might be raised up a little and feathers into the rim [*]There is also a line going across her leg and dress. Not sure if a scratch or a die issue. It feels like one edge of the scratch might be raised [/LIST] Reverse side: [LIST] [*]Appears to be extra metal at 3 o'clock [*]The feathers to the bottom left of the extra metal are raised up a little. Looks like it starts at the top left of the feathers and goes about a 45 degree angle down to the left.\ [*]Also a scratch going through the 'R' in DOLLAR [/LIST] Is this a issue with the die or something else? Thanks for any help! [ATTACH=full]333118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]333119[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
