<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 24984599, member: 92655"]Let me just offer this. Copper is the softest metal the mint used. It doesn’t take much effort at all to displace characters on copper coins and I have seen some serious anomalies created from hits and drops during use in regular commerce. When I see an anomaly on a copper coin, I always first default to an odd hit during its life…. Not saying that is what you are seeing with yours, but it is always a likelihood with copper coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
