ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19194 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 2:20 pm Found this example in a mixed collection of stuff I picked up on ebay a while back. Photos taken using my phone, not my usual (better) set up. As such, they're not the best. Along with the fun stuff, the coin has some significant spotting on the reverse--the extent of which doesn't come through all that well in the photo.
