Coin is exact dimensions, weight, color, stamp and pings correctly so I don't have any reasons to suspect a counterfeit but I thought this detail was unusual. Anyone else seen anything like this? The first two pictures are of the whole coin, the third picture is a closeup of the snake's tongue and the last picture is a normal coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Just thought it was weird that a whole portion of the tongue is not there. Wish it didn't have the two nicks on the obverse but still a very pleasing coin.
