Message:: [QUOTE="180IQ, post: 2635521, member: 84901"]I have a few $2.50 from the same year all with the same error. This qualifies as a variety. When I try to talk to magazines about it they shoot me down saying it isn't collectible when in fact anything is collectible. What makes a bugs bunny half dollar, or a speared buffalo more valuable than this? I think no one here has ever seen a live speared buffalo, most likely no one has seen a live 3 legged buffalo, no one has seen Benjamin franklin in real life, but most likely someone has seen a raging indian sometime in their life. I have one that lives upstairs! Here are pics of two graded examples, I realize die breaks in the throat area are somewhat common, but I estimate an original mintage of 20,000 maximum for this variety, with many less surviving to today. The bulging jugular vein is round, smooth, and is one vein, not many varicose veins as in other die cracks of this era. You'll have to zoom in real close, as it is a small coin. What are everyone's thoughts?[ATTACH=full]580682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]580683[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
