A lot of spots on the coin that would normally take damage seem untouched. What do y'all think. Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 08:19 am Numisia. It looks like it to me. I think it got hit with a hammer one time or something similar Edited by Willburton 04/23/2018 08:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
