Kmay New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/14/2017 11:04 pm I came across some old coin rolls my husbands grandmother gave him years back that we forgot about.. I'm not a coin collector but this one stood out & I was thinking it was just damaged but the more I look it looks like a design or letters stuck to the side. Anyway most of you really seem to know yalls stuff.. So any advice would help.. hope the pics are viewable! Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 06/15/2017 3:34 pm yoour photos are very good... im not sure what mint error you thought might have caused yours coins "damage"? Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 06/15/2017 3:48 pm Just a guess, but I think it might have been pounded into some kind of spiked bezel for a good luck charm. Usually those coins have rim damage but it is smooth. They were also mass produced. This may have been part of a home-made charm. dbrablec, the poster is not a collector so wouldn't have knowledge about the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff
