Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 9:09 pm @erik, yes full front and back overall pics would help, but these are invariably vise jobs (purposeful damage).

Erik122 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 9:42 pm And it's weird because there is damage on the coin but the memorial that I believe is imprinted on the front does not line up with the memorial on the back Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 12:39 am My first thought was 'vise job' or hydraulic press. It is going to take a lot of convincing to make me think otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff
