<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 4271680, member: 29239"]Thanks very much for your question ,, I'm not going to try to post anymore images right now because I'm not feeling ok. this getting old sucks plus I have had so many surgeries Including open heart surgery I can barely remember them. I have hundreds of friends on here and some of them sent me messages on the message board wishing me well while I have been MIA and I just now seen them. I realize why you want to see the rim at the 11 o'clock position. this is where the metal looks scooped out right next to the rim. This is one reason I knew the coin was a true mint error.If this had been done outside the die collar the rim would have without a doubt been destroyed in this area. The rim is in perfect condition all the way around it. If the metal had been damaged outside the mint the mint luster would have been missing in this area. I know now I just wasted the experts time examining it because I should have known what it was. I have collected and studied coins for nearly 45 years and this one had me confused . I was a big man and asked my good friend for help and I learned from it . You might want to switch to the mint error camp. I can assure you this one is what I say it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
