What about the 20 no dots ? A lot of confusion on how many minted And I see price is starting to get serious even in Good to fine
that's because it is hard to pick a real one. a lot of people think they have one but they only have a normal coin with a worn out/tampered with dot or a die break caused the dot not to be struck on the coin. this has led to confusion ion the past as to the actual mintage and prices are rising as the rarity of the coin is starting to come to light. you need to be full bottle on identifying the different details in the whole strike rather than just rely on the absence of the dot to id the coin as genuine.
