    These are the result of overpolishing the die to remove clash marks. I don't know if there is a market for them. They are interesting, tho. It might make for a worthwhile endeavor to try to assemble as many dates as possible of the floating roof varieties.

    A full set of circulation strikes might be possible. Wouldn't that be an interesting oddity?

    That it would. It's similar to the two feathers variety on the Buffalo nickel.

    Agreed. Man that's a neat one. I never looked either.

    See? We can always learn something.
