Are they the "light impression" variety or the "Godless"? Either way it's a nice find.

Did we ever determine in the other threads the chances of finding one of those?

Nice hit LD! The more I am seeing these the more interesting the situation becomes. I get the impression (but without any hard-core evidence) that they are not going to be super rare. But the big question I have is whether the Mint will figure out how to improve QC such that we will see relatively fewer of them with subsequent issues. This may not be too easy as the way they are adding that edge lettering is unique, at least as far as US coins - I mean the post minting addition, not just the presence of edge lettering. Also, it's about time to start seeing lots of fakes.

So what are you going to do with them - TPG then the Bay or ?
