KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/17/2007 11:46 pm You know, I think you might be right! These marks seem to follow the contours and branching of the log. And on the reverse, there's a line that appears to match the back of George's head. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/18/2007 6:34 pm That makes sense, given the really high minting #s. I would be curious to know whether there was a shortage of 5c in circulation, because I suspect they melted a bunch of Ni coins during the war. Report this Post to the Staff
