merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/02/2021 11:40 am Lack of rims on the reverse tells us it was not a mint error. Definitely post mint damage. Nice curiosity coin, but no premium I'm afraid. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/02/2021 6:27 pm Note the obverse Rim? That tells me when it was struck the reverse had one. But it was removed. Someone trying to create a mint error. When he realizes he failed, what to do with it. Oh yeah, spend it. You found it. Report this Post to the Staff
