merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/27/2021 9:35 pm It's a shame it think of the extreme number of these that have been melted down over the years. They are a beautiful coin! Yes, I am afraid I have to agree with others here now; your Merc was touched by heat or a blow torch. Report this Post to the Staff
