ClusterCoin Valued Member Australia 136 Posts	Posted 08/30/2024 08:47 am I was sorting through a bag of 2 cent coins when I came across this unusual looking coin. It has several rays of damage radiating outward from the center, plus some edge damage. It looks like its been squashed with something, but the thickness is the same as other 2c coins. Damage at the mint or afterwards? Thank you Edited by ClusterCoin 08/30/2024 08:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
