The coin itself looks cammo under the light and the "E" in "e pluribus unum" is almost non-existent. Tell me what's going on here oh wise ones! Lol Thanks for your time.

Need to crop a bit better and rotate properly before posting. The better the photos you post the better we can help you. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2023 1:24 pm If the devices/rim looks pushed, that is how you determine it was normal and now is altered. Nothing in the striking process will make that type of alteration by the dies. Just post strike damage causes this. Report this Post to the Staff
