Message:: [QUOTE="Matthew Peak, post: 2508728, member: 81433"]I bought this coin today and am anxious to hear opinions of those more experienced than I. I researched the error and how to tell if it is a legitimate mint error or a counterfeit error (not sure if thats the right terminology or not). Because the coins obverse and reverse is added after the round planchet is cut from a big sheet, when one is "clipped" the detail fades as it gets closer to the error because there is no metal for the design to adhere to. If close attention is paid to the rim and the "U" on the reverse, the fading detail is blatantly obvious to me. Please chime in with any input in regards to the coin or my understanding of this process. If I've got wrong.....let me know.
