I found this today searching 2008 P $1 Jackson rolls

Will pcgs slab it, and what would they call it.....Partial Edge Let. ? The coin is missing....IBUS UNUM.. the date is there but obscured.

    It's a really cool trick and I would have used it if it wasn't for these crappy LED flashlights that don't have reflectors.

    Yay! Mangled edge lettering!

    No idea about value. I've got a few rolls of prezzies to open up today. I have yet to see anything out of the ordinary. I hope I see something odd!

    Yes Eric, they will grade it as a Position A Partial Edge Lettering coin! Easily MS65 possibly MS66! If the mint mark is unreadable then (2008) otherwise I'll just assume a 2008-P!

    Very Nice Find you lucky Son-of-a-Gun!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Interesting

    It looks like a P to me in the photos.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    result of jam in the edge lettering machine. Sold a couple of them raw $250-400. Obvious mint damage, but don't know what kind of error label they will assign, probably whatever you ask for (within reason).
