chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 6:06 pm I have never seen an example of railroad rim so perfectly around the coin like this is, so it makes me think that the coin was altered, any way to verify? If it is legit, then we have the RPM as a bonus. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 7:35 pm Makes perfect sense John, not sure why I always forget about the coins altered by jewelery makers, I guess that I want it to be a real error coin. thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/27/2014 7:57 pm I tried to pick out a matching Mint Mark from the Coppercoins site but I gave up -- started to get a headache from squinting. But if you have the inclination, you might find that you have a variety there, so maybe still a decent (though damaged) find. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2014 10:32 am I agree with conder101 and it is a RPM, but minor like John1 mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff
