Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 4:44 pm to the CCF! Just damage or graffiti as noted. Why people need to mark up perfectly nice old coins is beyond me. It could have happened in 1939, but I still have to wonder why it was done. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
