Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/29/2016 02:46 am can you get clearer pictures of the obverse and reverse? but seeing the edge it looks like someone ground it to fit in a holder or maybe partial Dryer Coin Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 12:36 am Much better pictures. It just looks worn to me, with someone possibly sanding down the reeding on the edge. PMD Report this Post to the Staff
