What do you all think?

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 07/12/2006 12:03 pm Hi debbie In the pic I can make out the slightest hint of one cent,, so the coin was struck,, But my guess is that it may have been a filled die, and then wear took the rest of the detail from the reverse. of course its also possible the someone defaced the coin at sometime in its long history.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 07/12/2006 12:43 pm Thanks Rick. The poor thing is almost smooth on the Reverse. To me it looked like it had not been struck but, with it's long history, yes, it's difficult to tell. I only paid a buck for it because I thought that it was interesting. It will fill my 79 hole until I find a much better piece. Report this Post to the Staff
