smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2333 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 12:09 pm I've had this off to the side for a while with a question mark.? She's got some hairlines and pretty worn...but I can't figure out the "filled hole" in the center on the obverse and reverse? At first I thought it was a jewelry piece...but then I think I remember reading here...something about an off weight planchet or something and a plug to make the weight correct...idk? 11.8g's now. Just want to label her correctly on the 2x2 Thanks for your help! smat Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 12:24 pm I think I recall the plug being a thing on a flowing hair dollar for weight correctness, not sure about this one. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
