<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 249399, member: 1242"]I was 2x2'ing up some John Adams Dollars to take to a local Gun Show (yes, even coins sell good at Gun Shows!) and found a new error (on the Philadelphia minted coins) that I believe has so far been overlooked! From the bottom of the first "A" in ADAMS to the hairline of John Adams' head, there is what looks like a miniature Beanie Cap sitting on his head. There error is obtuse (somewhat semi-circle) and I first thought that it was from a severe Die Gouge, however there is a small Die Crack along the top of his head and slightly within the hairline. This makes me believe that a small Die Crack started in this area and caused a piece of the Die (above John Adams' head) to chip away. The neat thing about it is, that the Die Crack really makes the error look like a miniature Beanie Cap sitting on his head!</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry that I don't have pics but I will try to post some later!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
