Please put as much info in the title as possible; they are crucial. * Ran across this coin in a relatives collection, looks cleaned and damaged and possibly seeing a 5 as the last date. Just wondering what could have caused this, damage, grease filled? Have not looked into error coins too much but thought this would be a good place to start. Thank you, Steven Report this Post to the Staff
