Roof does not look “floating”. Even if it was “floating” it is generally caused by an over polished die, no added value, but something neat to look at.
You do not “need” the Red Book or the Cherrypickers’ Guide but they are recommended.
Look here for some good internet resources: https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1006619/sticky-this-book-index-books-to-read-on-numismatic-series-and-varieties
Different coin,
1970 no mint mark. how do I file This. Thanks for your time also
I'd say don't give up your day job in hopes that this "anomaly" will "catch on." Nevertheless, you demonstrate what I call "a great eye for detail."
That's a "floater."
However I have not seen a person that would pay a premium for it.
It's quite common actually, and as was already mentioned, is a result of die polishing.
Keep searching... coin anomalies are fun to find... However, not all command a numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
Not all that uncommon due to over polished dies.
I saw a ton of this on 96 Lincolns. If you look you can see that Lincoln was almost polished away too.
Trying to find minor varieties can be a big waste of time and eyesight. There are much better ways to "make ends meet". It is unfortunate that minor varieties seem to have considerable promotion on the internet as it is leading new collectors to believe they can make big money by finding such varieties. Finding anyone who will pay a significant premium for such varieties is likely to be much more difficult than finding the varieties themselves.
It’s part of the hobby. Have fun with it 😉. Personally I think your floating roof is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing it.
Happy hunting, Joe
Thanks All for your time. On to bigger and better finds. All of us.
