cheymat New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 02/08/2020 03:11 am I think this might be a dropped letter, but I'm new so I'm not sure. Can someone let me know? I think it might be raised, but I cant really tell because the coin is pretty beat up as you can see. And I'm sorry about the glare on the close up. Report this Post to the Staff

You can see more of them under the "8" as well as under the ear lobe. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
