<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 362073, member: 9474"]Here is an update of what I found out at the coin shop. I had 4 guys look at it, all of them have a heck more experience than I do - nearly 150 years experience combined. Oh boy, did the books come out. The coin shop had books stashed away that were older than I was! Dust was flying everywhere! Nothing was found about any errors or varieties with this issue. Everyone was intrigued. All the guys immediately saw what I had originally thought in my first post about this coin - possible triple struck. They also confirmed another suspiscion of mine that it looked like a D/D/S - or possibly a D/D/D but that was a little tougher to verify. All definitely agreed that it was definitely a D/D. The assitant manager of the shop said that it was probably a restruck mintmark, but not a double die. They had one of these coins for sale in their shop. The mintmark was much cleaner than mine, but still appeared to have something going on with the mintmark - possibly another restrike. All agreed that I should send it in, and as mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I plan on submitting this to NGC as soon as my membership package comes in.</p><p> </p><p>On another note, some of you may remember my post last week about my excitement about the coins on our local bid board - the Wisconsin and Roanoke that were in beautiful condition. Well, I didn't win those. I couldn't get out of work and I had the wrong number of the coin shop to call in any increased bids. This week they have a Alabama and Gettysburg on the bid board. Not as nice as last weeks, but still UNC. Hopefully, if I win these, I will post pics this Tuesday.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
