I will be gentle. I have a soft spot for anyone who legitimately does his homework. I didn’t answer right away because I was studying it. Though most error inquiries I get are nonsense, this has the potential to be a legitimate lamination error. It has wear and might have some post-mint damage. You could drop $50 to certify it but whether it’s worth more than that is hard to say. Because it is in a unique niche market, the value is very subjective. It’s the sort of thing I pay very little for then keep uncertified because I like them. I submitted it to Fred Weinberg, about the most renowned error expert in the universe. I don’t know him, met him once or twice. If he blesses us with an answer I’ll let you know. You can always do a fixed listing on eBay for $500, but they are run by fickle dingbats who Knick off legitimate listings all the time. Wish I had a clearer value; thanks for sharing.

Ok, I read the what it's worth primer, and I'm opening myself up to your best attempt at hurting my feelings. But I can't find anything referencing this..... error(?)... and I'm truly curious. You're in New York, I'm in New York. I can handle a good old fashioned "go pound salt" if that's how this ends.
But again. I'm curious.
Please, and thank you.
