 From what I can see, the 9 looks like it took a hit and the 1 got shoved around. If you can take a better photo with a magnifying glass (as John1 suggested) you might get a completely different opinion. |

Use the 'free image optimizer' below the 'image upload.' This should straighten out the oversized pictures.

Your correct....I do see the 2012 pics but the last ones are some cute baby pics...
Maybe it's me...but I click on photos and see kids (and an interesting mask)...no coin
Edited to add:
OK...right click on the coin pic (in Facebook)..select "copy link location"
Post THAT link (control V) here...it worked for me with your mask pic

Other obsions are: 1. To buy a magnifying glass and check it out yourself. 2. Try to find a coin store in your area and ask them 3. Ask friends or relatives if they have a digital camera and borrow it to take photos of that coin. And I would like to add if that is in a Folder, take it out. Appears to be an old Whitman Folder and the back of those slots is usually full of the glue used to make those things. So is that yours? Where did you get that one? |

Welcome to CC! Your coin is damaged. Seems like the 1's in the dates suffer the most.  |
