Message:: [QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4144753, member: 77814"]Why didn't he just say it looks like a "5" (five) instead of a backwards upside down 2 ? And how did he determine it was worth $3,000 ? lol We know it's an "S"<ul> <li>We also know looking at your picture that the thickness of the top of the last "T" is also very thin and likely suffered the same thing as the S.  The top of the </li> <li>The first "T" also is suffering some.</li> <li>Unfortunately the "U" won't show the same anomaly as the letters just get shorter.</li> <li>But even the top of the "R" is thinned and truncated.  It's nearly a "K".</li> </ul> It just so happens the "S" should be curved and becomes the most visible identifier of a die problem.[ATTACH=full]1071337[/ATTACH] So this is a case where the answer is right there.  It's just convenient to ignore as the "S" is the most visually obvious problem but all the letters in TRUST are suffering the same problem. I'd take a guess and say this was minted from one of the last made Working Dies for that year.  Have you seen the cents where the IGWT looks like it's going to spill over the edge ?[/QUOTE]
