Additional Notes: An unusual little coin, with a blocked die error. The "5" in the date is very faint and was struck this way. When dirt, grease or other material gets stuck in a minting die, not all parts of the design come out. There is a brightness in the "5" area, but I suspect that's from someone giving it a rub to see the details more clearly than anything sinister. I've seen a few of these over the years and although not as valuable as some of the more impressive errors, it's a nice thing to have.

Any coin gradings given above are in addition to the pictures. The pictures show you more detail than my words can tell you, so they are more important and the completing part of this description.

Please note that any customs fees and taxes are the to be paid by the buyer.
