Pocket change find. not sure what the 3 o clock mark is. I just like the coin because it's a bit off center and the image is all there. cheers my friends.

Really strong Ridge Ring on this one, plus a couple stray circulation marks including that one at 3 o'clock. Fun find!

to the CCF, Two Feathers! The obverse is not off-center, rather it was a misaligned die.

a HUGE Ridge Ring noted. lots of signs of a very worn out die. That thing at K3 look raised, and if so I'll go with a plating bubble.
