<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TTlady, post: 74203, member: 4254&quot;]<b>Possible new Error??? (pic added)</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Hello again.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have recently aquired a bunch of coins. I have for almost 6 days now, studied books, the internet &amp; these coins ofcourse since my last post. Very interesting I must say, I&#039;ve learned a lot about history its self...who ever payed attention in history classes in school! LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>I have the Red Book, the Blue Book &amp; a book that details how to grade. Along with these books &amp; the internet, I have a 4x magnifing glass &amp; a pin point light.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, actually about 3 hours ago, I found a coin with a &quot;1&quot; not as a &quot;1&quot;. It is a die error for sure. This coin would be graded a EF-40 atleast (in my opinion), so the details are very distinct...this &quot;1&quot; mess up is very obvious another words. It looks like a vertically stretched &quot;&gt;&quot; &amp; is half the normal horitontal width of a normal &quot;1&quot;. Last 3 hours I have looked up this error for the year &amp; denomination &amp; found NOTHING at all, not even this variety of error occuring (imagine my face doing the big question mark, confusion, excitement expression all at once!)</p><p><br /></p><p>My question in which I am hoping you kind coin veterans &amp; those alike can help me with is this:</p><p><br /></p><p>#1- Have you ever heard, seen, read...anything of this nature on a coin before?</p><p><br /></p><p>#2- What steps should I take to reporting this baby? I know I have to have it certified, but are there factors or suggestions I should consider before doing so?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much for taking the time to read this &amp; any comments, whatever their nature may be, that come my way.</p><p>My books &amp; research can&#039;t &amp; haven&#039;t given me advice on steps to take.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, things I should avoid doing would be helpful too.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again!</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT:&nbsp; Here is a pic, I cropped &amp; discolored only to show the error &amp; nothing else (not sure what my best interests are...). </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/LV_LuckyLady/ERROR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Yes, that is supposed to be a # after the 5.&nbsp; Have you seen or heard anything like it? PLEASE input your knowledge.&nbsp; Thanks so much!</p><p><br /></p><p>~T[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
