Quarterhorse New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 5:07 pm Hi, I am still kind a new so bear with me, I found this coin for sale and would like some advice on it. Is this a possible error or did someone mess with it. Some of you may have seen it so please advise! Thanks so much! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34464 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 8:00 pm This coin was holed and then plugged, but the plug was reversed so that a little bit of the obv is now on the reverse and vice versa. I suppose only worth melt now.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5270 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 8:49 pm I have seen a lot of strange things done with coins, and I agree with coinfrog that it was a lot of effort for something which does not seem very well done. Report this Post to the Staff
