Davbrian New Member Malaysia 43 Posts	Posted 10/07/2025 09:10 am As I was scan#776;nin#285; through my 1971S Eisenhower silver dollar coin collection, I accidentally stumble across on a letter that resemble the letter 'Z' located on the chin of Eisenhower. Is this unintentionally, coincidence of an abrasion that resemble the letter Z or something else? Please give me your thoughts, comments and opinions. #8542; Report this Post to the Staff
