imagecoins Valued Member United States 339 Posts	Posted 02/29/2024 4:48 pm Hi, I have this but not sure if its a error or not? I was thinking someone stepped on it scrapped it on the floor or something. But closer look it doesn't appear to be. it would have larger gouges. So I need some expertise on this. Weight of the coin is also 4.808g Thanks Again! Report this Post to the Staff
