Yogiberogi New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 8:32 pm I put this penny aside and looked at it more when I got homem. There appears to be an extra pillar or column to the left of the Memorial on the reverse and altogether, I thought this was a weird looking coin. Doubling as well and after some googling, there was a few posts about similar coins like mine. Can anyone tell me what I have here?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2019 7:00 pm There are 4 false columns on the memorial device design: Why are they there. Well it is part of the design and when looking at the building, you can see there are rows columns behind those 4 areas of the building. Report this Post to the Staff
