<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Scuba4fun777, post: 4878905, member: 75199&quot;]NO WAY! I thought I’d never see one of these rarities!!</p><p>This is the 1967-P FS-911 Crystallized Die variety. Nice bright red, BU coin!</p><p>It appears brown, but that’s just an optical illusion caused by this unique variety. You can see that crystals (based on the needle-like shape, it’s likely iodine&nbsp; - from die cleaning solution) condensed onto the die before the planchet was struck, causing the random, nick-like indentations on both sides of the coin. Occasionally, the crystals will grow to partially fill the die also, as observed on ‘LIBERTY’. </p><p>However, once the first planchet is struck, these crystals immediately evaporate and future pressings of the same die will show no evidence of the error. </p><p>It’s definitely a bargain at $2k, as I’m sure the new owner will be featured on the cover of the new, 6th Ed. Vol. 1 of the Cherrypicker’s Guide. </p><p>Wish I could afford it!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
