[QUOTE="Shake, post: 220106, member: 8699"]Hi Folks, I'm a new member and I'm dying to ask about this coin. I'm new to coins but not a total novice...I have been into errors for the past year or so, and spent most of my time finding errors that aren't really errors (like most people I presume). I only have two grades for error coins now..."knee-slappers" and "jaw droppers". But, I'm trying to keep it simple. The S was visible to me almost to the naked eye, that's what got me looking to begin with. It is striking to me how the S is right in the center of the D. I haven't seen many OMM's that are that clear and centered(although there may be plenty). Also, if you look you may notice that there is a continuous rough pattern or grain, similar to that of cloth, covering both sides of the coin. I'd like to know if anyone has ever heard of this error for this year, and if the fact that it is also struck-through would increase it's value, being a multiple error coin? Here are the pics, they are the best I could do. Hopefully, they show enough to allow you to extend your opinion on the coin. I appreciate your insights. After looking, please consider if this is a coin that I should get slabbed, and if valuable, what should I insure it for?
