Stole my words Numismat, I agree. I think it's real and it's a "broken leg." Here's mine, my date is a bit more worn then yours. If you found that...
Great editing technique haha
I cherry picked a 1909 S Indian Head that was around XF-AU for $30. It had some corrosion on it so I sold it for $380 and used the cash to buy my...
