dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/20/2023 2:27 pm I'll take a stab at it...looks like a major mint error to me. Perhaps a damaged planchet. The Indian looks like it was minted over the damaged planchet and not the other way around. You can still see the Indians lip, chin and neck. Let's see what others think.

The UNITED is forwards because that's from the 1904-dated coin. But the second punch caused by damage from a second coin shows "UNITED STA" backwards. Report this Post to the Staff
