Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 9:07 pm I found this coin in my cull pile. I wonder how you would grade this. I apologize for inverting the reverse image. So I'm wondering what is going on here? It appears that someone may have ground away the reverse of the coin on a lathe. I've actually found two metal detecting finds that had the same thing. Both British King George III coins. Did people try and recover the copper/bronze at some point? Edited by Jadey 12/20/2018 9:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 06:52 am Does anybody have any idea while this is done. Again, I've found two metal detecting finds like this as well, and I've wondered what the intended purpose was. Report this Post to the Staff
