The link to erro-ref above. That’ll get ou started. Here is the dot photo I have for you - [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Your second specimen has a marker (the dot above the left corner of the Monticello. This looks to be authentic.
@JCro57 Joe - I thought this might interest you and given you may be the most knowledgeable on the topic, could offer an opinion. If memory...
Willy - you’ll need better pictures of the reverse. Sharp, clear photos are needed for a good diagnosis. Weight is under which could indicate...

Looks like a cleaned, environmentally damaged LMC.
These specimens (past threads) look like specimens from a poorly stored hoard of coins. They appear to have environmental damage and crud. Where...
That LCS is generous! Great finds as usual!

Laundromats are cyclers of change. Fresh inputs that are reprocessed in coin changers with the rest going to the bank. It’s a good spot to make...
Possibly. But I’m wondering about design transfer from a clash.
Not overthinking…under processing. Create a checklist to work through. Does the MM have the proper characteristics ( split serifs, location)...
