<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shake, post: 220448, member: 8699&quot;]Check out the pics, hopefully they show enough you will be able to see the things that tripped me out on this coin when I found it.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the right hand of the obverse, somewhere between 4 and 5 o&#039;clock it is struck-through a couple of pieces of what I&#039;m guessing might be some kind of braided wire, based on the indentation that it left in the crevice. The struck through mark continues in two places, one of which is at the base of Washington&#039;s neck. That&#039;s not the trippy part....</p><p><br /></p><p>There are places on the right and left side of Washington that appear as if they have been ground off. Washington&#039;s nose looks broken on this coin. Part of the letters have the appearance of being ground off, and there are tiny swirl marks on the profile of washington&#039;s face. All under the clad layer, which leads me to believe that this was done to the die before the coin was struck. I don&#039;t know if it is valuable as errors go, but it sure is interesting! If someone knows what this kind of error is called, please tell me, I&#039;d greatly appreciate it. Enjoy the pictures![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
