Thompson2 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 To my untrained eye, no. The G should look like the ‘89. Found this pic as a reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBrad Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hello Thompson2. Thank you for your reply. Yes sir, you are correct. What threw me off on this one is the vertical leg on the G of my coin. It appears to have a small serif at the top of the leg but I agree it does not exhibit a full serif at the bottom. Some other things I noticed were the thickness of the initials, the curvature of the G and it’s vertical leg being wet outside the top of the G (on a vertical plane). It looked to me to strongly resemble the 1989. Maybe I found a hybrid..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Its my opinion that you found a coin that has sustained post mint damage and a hit has flattened the section of the "G" initial. Its easy to see what we want to see on damaged coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
