Seems like another QC fail by the mint.
Thanks! I've just not seen an example with surfaces like this.
Those are pretty cool! Ken Dorney always has some interesting Chinese coins.
Purchased this guy on the cheap based off blurry photos. Figured I'd give it a shot. It arrived today and something just seems "off" to me....

Oh man, this is my white whale of CRH. Congrats!

Dang. I hope it is good for your sake. What a great deal if it is.
Yeah they are....but San Francisco did business strike "S" mint coins as well. Example from CRH: [ATTACH]
