<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 4264923, member: 29239"][ATTACH=full]1086418[/ATTACH] Folks I'm back after a long break and everything seems to work different on here so bear with this old guy. This is a coin I put on here a few years back and everyone said there was no way it could be a mint error. I tried to explain the coin to them with no luck. I sent it to a well known coin expert and he said he sees no reason to think ICG got it listed wrong as a major clashed die. I have studied error coins for nearly 45 years and I think I know what it really is. I tend to think it is struck thru die droppings otherwise a dropped design and letters coin. I know without a doubt that this one is a true mint error. I know it looks similar to a hammer job but it is not . The reverse is in perfect condition and some of the letters from America is touching the rim and seems to be up under the rim.It has a tall wire rim and no damage to the rim. The coin also is the same diameter as a normal cent. I'm having problems getting the photos on here because I did photos of this coin and another one and the thumbnails got mixed up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
