SilverLee33 Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 06/04/2020 6:04 pm Hello all! I've been CRH during this epidemic and I've gone through 2 boxes I have learned that not only is life a little strange, it's mostly beautiful~ and so are coins! {a lot of them looked like a science project that went wrong tho}! I found this 1946 with the 3 grooves {holes}? on the obverse and reverse kind of strange looking! I'd like to know if anyone has ever seen anything like this or know what could've happened? It looks like it was either repaired on the edge for a reason or made that way by mistake? Report this Post to the Staff

SilverLee33 Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 06/04/2020 6:11 pm I figured that but look at the repair~ It's crazy that someone would take the time to add copper to the edge~ and do it so Fancy! Report this Post to the Staff
