Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 06/23/2023 7:18 pm Sorry about your Dad. It is possible that there was an attempt to 'hole' this coin - can we see the reverse? You posted up the obverse twice, if you used the same name for both images (obverse and reverse) the forum will overwrite the image already uploaded. Collecting since 1972.

No worries, it happens all the time with the new folks, just remember it is just like files in the same directory - every file name needs to be different. and thanks for posting up the reverse. I'll go and say that this coin is just a damaged coin now. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

One0nineten New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 06/23/2023 8:12 pm Thanks again! I have so many coins to look at, I never realized how interesting (and addictive) it is! I have no idea where to start or what I'm looking for but I did buy a red coin book and it's a lot of fun! Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 06/23/2023 8:14 pm To CCF! I am sorry about your father passing. Your coin has been damaged outside of the U.S Mint. Makes me wonder if someone tried making a jewelry piece out of it. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
