<p>[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2752787, member: 19250"]There's something there on both, I suspect an 8 underlying as when I first found it in some old buffalo's I had since a kid. There are two holes the top one is larger than the bottom one. If you look below the date between the 92 you can see the bottom loop of the underlying 8 the two dark spots are the inner loops of the 8. Next look inside the 2 you can see the right side of the top loop inside the 2.</p><p>I am totally convinced that the number is an 8 . Can I prove it no....when shown to an expert who will remain nameless his reply well yeah it's something show me another one like it. </p><p>I do understand no one wants to put their name on something unless it is 100% proven to be exactly what it is..... but when you have this coin in hand under a loop there's no doubt it's an 8.</p><p>Coin #2 I'm not sure what it is...someone said a die chip. Die chips aren't smooth and take on shapes like digits . Something was punched into the die besides the 1928 again you can see it in the loops of the 8 and outside of the 8. Again what I am clueless . But no matter what it is it shouldn't be there....and it is no questions asked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
