Forgot about this one error coin...

I was looking through my coin stuff today, and found a coin that I had forgotten about. Do you ever do that?

I love when that happens, because it's almost like getting new coins!







So...is this puppy worth anything, or should I just put it in the stamp machine at the Post Office?

Please include me in your generous give-away.

Seriously, it looks like either a slight broadstrike or a partial collar. You would need to see the third side to determine which. Is there any reeding at all on the coin? No reeding means a broadstrike, partial reeding means a partial collar, and full reeding means someone at the P.O. ran it over with a forklift.

There's no reeding on the sides. You can see a little bit of reeding to the left of the right edge on the obverse, though.

It's a broadstrike, and I wouldn't call it "slight". It's not super-huge, but quite a nice example. Worth in the range of $100. Fred Weinberg has a half-dozen on his site from $100-$150.

Hey Xpipe...You need to pinch down those staples before it scratches another coin.
Neat error SBA.
