moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/14/2017 3:59 pm That is an odd one (get it? Odd one). It looks like a zipper. Only mint damage but I'd keep it just for a chuckle. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/14/2017 8:28 pm That kind of hit always look like bite marks to me. I have to say -- it is the first time I have ever seen an entire number taken out that way. I'd keep it -- just to show to friends at my coin club. Report this Post to the Staff
