sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/07/2026 5:59 pm Coin appears to suspect to my eye. The lower part of the 3 in the date appears to be altered, and in an attempt to hide the alteration, the whole coin appears to have been artificially re patinated. Report this Post to the Staff
