Is there a way to determine if this coin was in fact an S? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7624 Posts	Posted 07/30/2019 9:59 pm My guess is it is a counterfeit and the holes were put in it to keep it from getting passed off to someone else. Report this Post to the Staff
Sir Derrin Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 07/30/2019 10:05 pm My first thought was a kids whizzer toy... no not the cleaned coin type but the string toy made for amusing kids. Drill a couple of holes and add a string to twirl around your head to make a buzzing/whirling noise. But then I realized it had 4 holes and positioning made me think charm bracelets... S mint mark? no clue... Report this Post to the Staff
