Counterfeit. Look at the bust of Washington - he has a clown nose.
That's got to be from 1/5 to 1/4 of their slab total. Wow. Good little idea someone came up with - especially with the special labels.
It was struck from a die made from a worn out hub. Everything begins to blur and gets pushed out towards the edges. I know they made new hubs for...
