gschmidtjd Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 09/27/2023 1:23 pm I am much more confident this coin is an error. It appears to be double thickness with a deep rim on both sides. How would I accurately described this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 09/27/2023 7:15 pm It could have been a 'birth' year' coin to memorialize it. Or a wedding date to remember it. Collecting since 1972.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 09/27/2023 7:24 pm Encased at some point. That said my eyes are drawn to the eyelid area. Is there an extra eyelid or am I seeing just a shadow trick? If nothing never mind. If something added, a straight on close up might help as well as a straight on close up of date with mint mark. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
