<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 7897050, member: 84179&quot;]There is a known example of a damaged die that vaguely resembles a 5 on the cheek.&nbsp; Error expert Fred Weinberg has said it was was damaged by a piece of lint during during the working die manufacturing step.&nbsp; To clarify, it is not a 5 stamped into the die.&nbsp; It would need to match the font (exact size and shape) of an existing number used by the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP needs to show that the mark on his coin matches the known examples.&nbsp; Since it&#039;s from a damaged die, it will need to match exactly.&nbsp; Close = don&#039;t have it.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW: I believe the original finder had been trying to hype up this coin a few years ago in order to create an artificially high value.&nbsp; Typically, coins struck from damaged dies are not worth anywhere near 4 figures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
