coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 07:58 am I agree. The coin was intentionally altered. PSD. Reverse was sanded off. Probably then ran over in a parking lot a few times. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74846 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 09:15 am Definitely an altered coin. It's Post Strike Damage, since it happened after it left the U.S. Mint. The reverse was sanded off, and then it was in a parking lot for awhile. It got ran over a couple of times. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
