NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17903 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 04:02 am Looks like an 'early state' parking lot coin - was probably dropped on an asphalt surface at some time and trodden on or driven over.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
