Folks - check out the second U in UNUM. It has experienced damage - depression from the upper left to bottom center - looks like whatever hit it flattened only that one area. I thought it odd, so I thought I'd share it with y'all. Something even more odd - when you flip the coin north to south, there doesn't appear to be any excessive damage on the reverse.

That is a possibility; however, if you look at the right arm in the U, it doesn't appear to have suffered a hit, and, yet, it is fatter than the one in the first U. Who knows? Could be manmade damage, or.....
