slab crazy New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/31/2010 08:42 am The pictures were not taken through a mirror. I my opinion is it was sandwiched between two coins and the coins did not line up making it look off center. What a waste of some good coins. That's my story and I'm sticking to it..
