Dearborn Moderator United States 99205 Posts	Posted 01/20/2025 10:51 am pretty sloid hits from another reeded coin, sad to say. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 01/21/2025 06:14 am Agree with above comments, the coin(s) are suffering from hits by other coins. This more than likely happened at the mint when the coins were falling into the collection bins. Report this Post to the Staff
