Under the bow in hair , above the 4 and between the Y all have black lines doing nothing , In Cod We Trust mangled in we. The date, and Especially the B in liberty. Reverse side. E PLURIBUS UNUM and all letters are messed up. Cant find anything about it . I'm really not to familiar with terms. The pictures are the best I can get. The coin isn't easy.well enjoy the pictures and happy hunting Report this Post to the Staff
