Reminds me of a Belgian coin I found in a "bad coins we don't need" bin last year (should really take a photo, it's a really weird PMD/flaw/whatever thing). But from this kind of photo, it's hard to say. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/29/2016 10:21 pm I have a 3 Kopeck that has a severe chunk missing out of one side, where it looks like the planchet simply failed and broke off: it has been with me for 20+ years now.
