philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 8:51 pm I think the seller has guessed right; a jewelry mount was at the center of the reverse, and someone removed it, and attempted to "restore" the coin. Or at least, make a minor tragedy out of what was a catastrophe. Report this Post to the Staff

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 11/25/2012 10:51 am It hurts to look at that reverse, but so many nice old halves were used as jewelry. I had a bust half with a blob of solder covering the shield area. It was probably attached to a belt buckle. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".
