Nice error?

Got this one from ebay, still in the airtight holder and red mint box with COA. A Walter Breen book has it as a over polished die giving it #7596. Saying that "the die polishing completely disconnects strokes from the intersection". This makes it look like a "S" instead of a 8. The open space's are small & not easy to see without a magnifier or loop.

Interesting coin!

Anyone seen it before?

Should I move this to the error page?

agreed, a polished die.

not a popular variety.

Take anything Breen wrote with a grain of salt

 

Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

 

I think I have a few of these laying around. I'll have to dig them out and check. I don't have any Breen reference books.

The only one worth anything is the Encyclopedia.

Thanks again, Frank, but I have enough books as it is.

You can never have enough books!

[well, except for ancients, I have none.]

 

Except when you're selling off your collections!

Chris

 

sorry to hear that.

[PS: any bust $1/2's? J/K mods]

 

Sorry, but no! I'm slowly selling off everything through Shane, aka Kryptonitecomics. Nothing listed right now, though.
