Ducksaregreat New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 12:46 pm Hello! Bought this coin from a coin shop to put with my collection and noticed on the "United States of America", the America seems to have extra metal in-between the letters or wasn't punched correctly. Would it be an error? Thank you for any advice and even just the read! Report this Post to the Staff

But based on the obverse graffiti, I hope you didn't pay much for this coin. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
