<p>[QUOTE="RabbiSchmooley, post: 5428405, member: 117055"]Good evening CoinTalk! I found this today in some change from a local gas station, and I cannot figure out what is happening here. I've been google researching for an hour and can't seem to find any examples of anything quite like it. It's almost as if just part of the copper plating is missing. All of the words and the date on the obverse are there, but they're uniformly garbled and very wide. On the reverse, the wording on the right side of the coin is slightly garbled but it gets worse the farther to the left you look, and part of the rim appears to not have been struck. Has anybody seen this before?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1235853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1235855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1235857[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1235859[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1235861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1235862[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1235863[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
