Just a heads up everyone, I wanted to share a story with everyone, so, if you don't want to read my story, and want to just stick to talking about the coin, scroll to the bottom of my post and my questions about this coin will be down there. Thanks Ok, so, I actually have found a lot of coins I've been needing to put up here, a few of which I am finally to the point where I'm pretty positive are definitely some of the real deal ones. Once I learned about die scratches and matching them up, it made my life a whole lot easier. So, I have a quick story that I would like to share that I think some people on here could appreciate. I'm 29 years old, and was born in 1987. As most of the regulars on here probably know, I became interested in coins about 3-4 months ago now and it's a hobby that probably takes way too much of my time,(if you were to ask my girlfriend) but one that I thoroughly enjoy and can't imagine that I'll ever really get out of it. That being said, I had a pretty awesome thing happen to me a few weeks ago, that I wanted to share. My grandfather died about 14 months ago now, and is probably only the 2nd person in my life that I have been really close with that has passed away(I have been very fortunate thus far). Well, after my grandpa passed, my grandma has started coming over to the house every month or so and staying for a week or so. So, of course she has had her ear badgered off about all the different cool kinds of coins I've been learning about and how much some of them can go for. One thing I have to mention, I am the third of four children in my family. Well, when my grandma had last come down to the house, she told me that she had totally forgotten about some coffee cans in the bottom of her closet that when I was born my grandpa had said somebody had better start saving for my college fund, and started collecting pennies and rolling them and putting them in the coffee cans with a label on them that said "JD's (my nickname) College Fund". He did that until about the year 2004, and my grandma just gave them to me after this last time she came down. So, I ended up with over 100 rolls of pennies that the vast majority of which are in amazing condition. I don't know how boppa decided to do this for me and I ended up being the only one of my family interested in collecting pennies, but, what I do know, is that in my eyes, Boppa left me a treasure chest. I'll start posting some of the coins I've found in there, as soon as I get them sorted.(finally almost done) Now, I apologize to those who didn't care for the story and only wanted to know about the coin that's on the title, but, it just blew me away when I found out about it. So, now to my questions: I haven't found a whole lot about this coin online. I couldn't find it on PCGS, and I don't know if that is because it isn't a recognized DDO, or if it's strike damage or what, anybody know what I'm missing and would be so kind as to enlighten me? Thank you.
I don't have a good picture set up yet, but, I can see all the die scratches that matches the 002 for this coin.
