kme1075 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/18/2019 07:12 am I found this in my dad's coins and it looks like a relief map it's so bumpy. Not smooth like a coin should be, but also doesn't look like something happened to it while circulating. Maybe a smelting issue? Anyone see one like this before? Report this Post to the Staff
