<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 4295033, member: 29239"]If I end up putting this old trouble maker on Ebay with the experts decision so it can be graded authenticated how many on here would bid for it. I knew almost immediately this one was a true mint error soon as I found it while searching thru rolls. I'm not mad at anyone for downing it because all they had to go by was the photos. This was caused to be like it is from a small piece of a die cap or some other piece of metal that was in between the coin and the die. The error experts opinion is starting to make sense. He said the die cap had been rotating between strikes. It looks like the struck thru piece may have been struck with part of the collar and kept moving from left to right between strikes and left the impressions of the collar on the blockage piece. I knew it would cause a ruckus when I found it from the way it looks. L knew all along it was a real error and that is why I would never believe it was a just a damaged PMD coin . I'm nicknaming it old Rukus so if you see it on Ebay it will be titled as " Old Rukus " Maybe it is worth more than I thought .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
