<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1323473, member: 29239&quot;]Well I have been staying off this thread like I said I would do and give the PRO&#039;s a chance to weigh in. looks like some of them already did so I know my opinions are not worth much here on the CT forum but I&#039;ll tell you my opinion anyway. where you said the coin was overweight this is probably because some of the metal from the struck thru die cap &quot;&#039;if that is what is&quot; may still be in this coin. I can see what looks like extra flakes of metal on the coin. The extra flakes of metal is what caused one of my struck thru die cap coins declared PMD by lots of folks here on CT.also the rim of your coin near the U is rounded like the unusal thing I own. I&#039;m not saying that is bad, this may mean good after your coin is examined closely. The area that looked like extra letters don&#039;t look like extra letters to me at all after seeing these last photos. this looks as if the wadded up remants of what was left of the die cap created these places from the wrinkles in the dropped die cap. remember folks that I am only looking at photos here and mostly guessing.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a worn out die cap remains in perfect condition without becoming wadded up and lands on a coin planchet with the right side turned down towards the planchet and the dies pushes it into the coin it can make a impression that some of us calls a dropped die filling with the details of lots letters , numbers and design sunken into a coin . I&#039;m hoping to find one of those. You have a great coin here just like I told you before. Congratulations</p><p><br /></p><p>edit; Where I said what looked like extra letters in the ebay photos don&#039;t look like extra letters in your better photos I was not talking about the tiny places near the design and the letters.I was talking about the larger places like the place at the top of the N. the tiny places not visible in the ebay photos do look like about at least three extra sets of letters and and was probably done by the die cap being struck thru numerous times and was working somewhat as a coin die by transferring the design back onto your coin. this shows that the die cap or whater it was that did the strike thru was stuck onto the die. there is probably more of these out there somewhere but not very many... your coin will be educational for a lot of us and maybe some folks can learn from it. I need to learn how to get good photos like you do and maybe folks would stop calling my coins PMD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
