Cha-Ching New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 5:07 pm Going through some old coins, I noticed a backwards R in liberty. Under it, it looks like a correct R and the T looks to have something under it as well. There's also a 5 under it and a K down to the left of it. Any help would be great thx.

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 5:42 pm To me, it looks as if someone deliberately modified the "R" to make it appear that way. The rest are just random marks which resemble numbers and letters. Report this Post to the Staff

That's my theory. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 10/09/2020 6:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
