<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1504830, member: 15199"]Since the year can't be determined, as it was on the reverse ( which I also believe was sanded down due to the scratches) and the obverse date 1973 was used for many years on coins. The early ones were milled, but the later years were smooth. My thought is that this is an altered coin from a later year. As stated above you can't produce a uniface coin from just one die. Even if a blank or ground down die was used for the back, the pressure would produce a smoother surface thn this one. IMO. What was the weight you recorded? </p><p><br /></p><p> Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
