<p>[QUOTE="TheBigH, post: 291125, member: 9866"]You're absolutely right. He who asks is a fool for five minutes, he who doesn't is a fool forever. As for the coin, it appears to be a filled die error, possibly along with a slight misaligned die. Filled die errors are caused by grease getting caught in the designs on the coinage die, hardening, and then when the coin is struck, part of the design is absent as a result. As for the misaligned die, that's caused when one of the coining dies moves slightly from it's normal position, and causes the coin to appear off-center, but in reality, just the obverse (or reverse in certain coins) is off. If I am correct, than I am sorry to say that your coin is probably not worth a lot. Maybe 50 cents. Still, it's a very interesting coin, and an error nonetheless, and I would certainly keep it. Remember, the value is not all that important, and collecting and keeping what you like is the cornerstone of the roll searching hobby. Not to mention, I could easily be mistaken. It's best to wait for some of the more seasoned error guys on here to give their opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
