Online Appraisal

D. Hello, this is my first time ever sending to request a look at what I think has many errors. I usually just toss change I like or think is interesting to later look at when I have a moment.. well this one had me peering at it every which way for nearly two hours and a headache later ?. I see ghat there is a Doubled rim what looks like starts on right just above the 2 of the date. I followed it clockwise around and the next thing that caught my eye was it seemed that the L in Liberty was down in the rim gully. Next the word Liberty looks wavy. I kept going back to the W in the word We at the top, I zoomed in the best I could for a clear shot of what I saw and it has an indentation on the left side of the W. Then with steady zoom I noticed nearly all or likely all of the letters have a dimple see example from pictures I tried to point out. So the upper most part of the I then the N slightly mire to the right on that letter then the G has an indentation next the dimple like a pin point size so on and so forth all the way to the 2 in the date. Next I tipped the coin on an angle so I could follow the edge of the doubling and saw that it’s thinner on the most prominent doubling side as well as it looks like it was two pieces squished together harder there making it (for lack of a better term) collapse into itself. As I slowly continued turning it and snapping pics I see that there is a faint consistent dimpling on the edges almost like what you would see on a smashed dime edge. And the last thing it looks like there are actually a hint at f maybe small letters of something. Okay I’ve had fun with this nonetheless if you see otherwise. Oh and the backside the middle words are much lighter in strike definition than the words I Either side. But the interesting thing is the center top A had a indentation same place I noticed on obverse side with the W that started this whole quest. Thank you for your time, I’ll be waiting for your eval. Regards, Yvonne L Tucker Montana

This is such a remarkable treatise I hate to say what I always end up saying... first, the good news: if you study most any coin with great scrutiny you will find unique properties in the planchet and the die that struck it. And now, to ground you: though I'm unique and I like to think I'm worth $1 million, and all my coins are unique and I like to think they're worth $1 million, for the most part they're just worth face value. So everything you said about your coin is important, it makes it special, but you're going to have to work hard to find a buyer for more than about a cent. But then again we state clearly in our site that we do not deal with modern varieties because we're fine they are always a wild goose chase. why don't you put it up for auction with this beautiful description and see what the market brings? I'd love to have a coin with such a pedigree!
