Nice coin! Thanks, Bill
Hi All, There is no doubt that it is the residue of an adhesive of some kind. On a different subject, are you tool lady or too lady. I knew a...
I agree, the rot is distorting whatever the number is so whether a '90 or '94, it doesn't matter. Thanks, Bill
Hi, Definitely post-mint damage. The numbers were added with punches. Thanks, Bill
That's a normal , and known, damaged mint mark punch that was used. We see that punch used from 1969 to around 1974.
