It's been abraded to death by scraping it on concrete or some similar situation. Imagine it being stuck to the bottom of somebody's shoe.. Is there no obverse (face side) to the coin or is it scraped away, too? Since you said it was a 2016 the obverse must still be there. Am I right? Given its youth, there's a strong possibility it was done on purpose. Think, Kid on a sidewalk with nothing else to do. Edited by Biedercoins 09/20/2016 07:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
