Searches for this variety, only show "no genuine die variety", of this type...rather claiming it is Post Mint Damage (PMD) from a "counting machine" or other damage. I find this to be a ridiculous explanation, as so many examples (same 'damage', same year) exist. I personally have 4 coins (as pictured above) collected from the 1960's to 1970's while searching circulated coins. When will this be recognized for the genuine variety it represents?
Other opinions?
