Can anyone tell me if they have ever seen one of these before and what it is and it's value?

The E took hits from the East and West! That sheared the metal and left it looking like an I. You can still make out the shadow of the old E around the damage.

I know the result may seem improbable, but metal can be moved and distorted by a hit, and this is the only possible explanation.

coinfrog, You really think so? Without doing any other damage?
Very odd.

Most of the damage must be imagiined here. The horizontal serifs of the E were erased and the upright pushed over intact. There is no other possible explanation.

OK, Thanks everybody for your opinions. I'll take it as damaged.
