Bethcoins New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/22/2025 7:52 pm Hi all, is this coin doubled or what is it? Looks like he has two mouths. Also, his nose is very messed up and his neck is like nonexistent in the front. I'm not quite sure what I'm seeing here. Could somebody please shed some light on what this coin is considered error wise? And thank you for your time Report this Post to the Staff
