    I was going through my grandfather's collection and came across this one. I'm not sure if it's worth anything or any explanation as to why it would look like this l

    Welcome to the neighborhood @Jimmyk7051 !

    You should replace that old 2x2 anyway. So, would you mind taking the coin out and giving us better close-ups of both sides?

    i thought that too, but would that have warped the rest of the coin? i mean to get the coin that hot it would have melted through or bowed?

    Darn good thing, too. Denver didn't make any until 1911. You meant "S".
