Far from a gem but the one I've always wanted. I have only got to see pics. of it and finally got one from a roll. Unfortunately, it wasn't from any of my BU rolls. Let me know for sure and any comments are always appreciated.
Looks like die stage 3, it has the gouge near the bottom of the 9, but not yet the broken/chip inside the 6. Nice find! Notice the raised bar on the shoulder. That is present from early stages and makes it fairly easy to spot the variety when going through rolls. Jim
Thanks all for the input. Thank you Jim for the advanced help and info. Wasn't aware of the die stage. And I'm still looking for the gem state.
Congratz on the nice find! How many stages are there to make a coin? I tried to google search though it didnt bring anything up. Thank you kindly, Shrek
