[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3537432, member: 77814"]If you take more than a cursory glance at the date, and really take a look at it, such as: [ATTACH=full]940212[/ATTACH] you can see abrasion marks really clearly on the top left of the 8 (and middle and lower), and on the lower middle of the 2. Of course, over time with general circulation those abrasion marks will be smoothed. This could have happened once or twice, or more times.
