Obverse: Reverse: As you can see it has these markings on both sides of the coin. I have no idea what this is or what could have caused it. Has anyone come across something like this? Would be great to hear some of your feedback Thanks! Edited by kent0maus 08/05/2012 12:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
