The backs on them are ugly. The link I posted has a different kind of back I think. But good link Bobby!

I think he was testing us.

Here is a partial set of the small coins along with a Standing liberty in gold tone. Yes some of the reverses of the coins don't have the attention to detail that the observes do. They are magicians coins, then became a tourist souvenir item, then where gold toned.
Mostly used for small change tricks and gags, bits and bar bets. The squares behind them are ΒΌ" and a full size statehood

That's what happens when you leave change in your pocket and it goes through the laundry.
