    It says 66, the coin is a 66 :D

    Well, the date of the coin and the grade match, at least !

    A mechanical error such as this may bring a small premium on eBay as a conversation piece. Most collectors won't want to add it to their collection.

    I have one too, just got the mintmark wrong on mine. I know there are a few who collect them, but I can't imagine paying a significant premium.

    I believe I have seen a few forum participants - over the years - that have expressed interest in mechanical errors. I have no idea what premium may be associated with such items, if any.... Cheers, RickO
