    Thanks

    We can see it now. Funny.
    I moved from Indiana to SC 5 years ago.
    From Indy (Greenwood), or New Castle if you go farther back.

    Someone really did a number on that coin. Looks like the same stamp was pounded into the obverse as was on the reverse. I wonder what that stamp (die) was used for before it was used to defaced this coin.
