I checked patent records for those issued on August 11, 1903 and think I've come up with something interesting. Patent #735,709 was issued to...
Looks like they forgot to add the dime wacky. I like it though as a novelty coin. Nice find. Bruce
It almost looks as if someone started to tool the coin to turn it into a hobo nickel. Is anything done to the reverse Kentucky? Bruce
I don't see any trace of another letter patt, but there's room enough to the left of the "A" for one that's just not visible. I would be willing...
