Just got this one (27D) in hand. Didn't catch the legs when I initially bid. What do you think is going on??? Tired dies giving illusion??

    Not struck up full on the front two and die striations/grooves between the back legs is what I see. Not sure what that means for the date though without homework. Neat coin. Congrats!

    Looks like a severe case of die erosion to me...

    Is that a die chip or gouge on the inside of the right front leg, and also on the mound under buffs chin?

    Looks to me like raised metal in the photo.

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    It is pretty typical for the date; worn tired dies and soft srtikes. It isn't in common condition though.
