<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1234521, member: 15518"]I can understand the OP's position... I've had coins in the past that I swore were mint errors... only to find out later they were PMD. Coins seem to be fair game for all types of wacky experiments and attempts to emulate mint produced errors. There are many ways to remove material from the surface without damaging or leaving tool marks, and I've seen it done on more than one occassion. My recommendation is to drive the hour to the coin shop and get an opinion from the dealer. Ask him a value... what he would sell it for. If he believes it to me a genuine mint error, let him submit it, and insure for that amount. This should give you peace of mind, as you seem to be worrying needlessly over this coin. Dealers have submitted items of immeasurably more value than what you have (even if genuine). As stated before, you might be wasting your money, but at least you'll have peace of mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
