Can some help correctly Identify? You guys are the best!! Also the date is not visiable. Can I distinguish the year by visible examination of the Coin, or would liquids be involved? Thank you in advance for reading and offering your opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/22/2015 8:44 pm The metal in the areas where the rims were compressed has been pushed upwards, thus increasing the thickness at these points. That displaced metal has subsequently been worn down to approximate the thickness of the rest of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
