You will do good on this coin if you decide to sell it. It is worth more than what you paid.

Maybe a lathe was involved?

Looks genuine to me. The rim does not cover the bottom of the date, the coin has been tooled, probably with a lathe, inside the rim all the way around and that is what has removed the bottom of the date.

Yeah, you're right. A lathe? Sounds right, think you might have something there.

It's unique and interesting, so I like it for just $4.25. I'd rather have Edweather's coin than this one:

I don't understand why you would be a sucker for this junk, but I guess there's one born every minute.
