Yes, it does look like that, but on the other hand, it looks more to me like that area is recessed below the date and the surface of the coin, not...
Kids or teachers were exactly the folks I had in mind when I bundled the three coins in that particular lot together. Here is an extra bonus...
Note that I have recently made several new additions to the giveaway goodies list, and as of this typing I still have more to add. If you win the...
