dhadd New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 09/23/2021 6:28 pm I'm back, lol. This caught my eye while looking over a roll I exchange at the bank. It looked like something interesting even if its damaged and not worth a thing but to just keep it as a conversation piece. Hard to take a decent picture of both sides with the color changes. Everyone on this site has been very nice and helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2021 8:23 pm Looks like it went side walk surfing? Removed the plating from the coin. Not a plus for the coin. Just a damaged one now. Report this Post to the Staff
