Been a good month for me with detecting. Also found a diamond and gold ring valued at over 10K!! Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5644 Posts	Posted 07/21/2021 3:16 pm I can't tell anything. Are the 2 Obverse photos of the same coin? The 1st looks vastly different than the newest one. Report this Post to the Staff

IMO looks like a well placed hit making one eye look like two, but I dont deal with vicky dimes well enough to be confident.

mgalb Valued Member Canada 78 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 3:34 pm The two images of obverse do look different...same coin. However after researching the coin more it looks like it is normal....just maybe a ding in the center of her eye. I must say her eye is huge and with the ding in the center it makes it look like two.
