Autumnology New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/22/2018 9:12 pm I don't understand how a formation like this occurs. Has it been tampered with or is this somehow minting? I want to say it is 1942, but is there anyway to know for sure? Any advice anyone could give on ways to know in the future would be awesome. Report this Post to the Staff

Autumnology New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/22/2018 9:21 pm Thank you so much. Yeah it just sparked my interest when I was sifting through some old change. I know nothing about errors since I don't deal with them much in my collection. Always good for a second opinion instead of just throwing it aside. Report this Post to the Staff
