It's a bit banged up/damaged but curious to know what type of error it could be. Your help is appreciated. Thanks! Subject Coin Left Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98746 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 7:56 pm Yes, due to the fact that the coin was fully struck is indicative that the planchet started out at normal size and weight. I agree with an acid dip. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
