<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2450821, member: 36230&quot;]And kudos for taking the time to learn something new; it&#039;s genuinely nice to see people get excited about their coins, but you must understand looks can be and often are, especially to the inexperienced eye, deceiving. Damage, particularly on a corroded coin, can manifest itself in ways that give the appearance of something that really isn&#039;t there, and am I afraid that&#039;s exactly what we&#039;re seeing here. The fact is that all too often, such fantastic would-be errors/varieties just happen to show not on honestly circulated or MS examples, but coins that haven&#039;t led the most healthy of lives, and there&#039;s a very good reason for this. All things considered, you should ask yourself which is more likely... a damaged and corroded coin showing a very significant never before seen overdate, or a damaged and corroded coin showing something that just happens to resemble an underlying 4. In this hobby, the most obvious answer is usually also the right one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do continue to do your homework and seek out expert (not coin forum) opinions if you want, but please don&#039;t get your hopes up and try to keep seeing this all as a learning experience.
