    Nice error.

    Mercury errors are always in high demand.

    If I received that in change, my first thought would be PMD.... of course, looking closely, it is not....Neat error. Cheers, RickO

    Unless there is reeding along the edge between The 'R' and 'Y' of 'LIBERTY', I would be disappointed with that error designation. From the photos, it does not look like that area had contact with the collar and would thus be a straight clip.

    What does it look like in hand?

    I see a curved clip and a straight clip, or "tapered end" if you will.
