Gjose Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) Just wondering is this an error or I could be something normal but I check a different one and it doesn’t have that b in the same spot does anyone know what this is ? left side close to the tree Edited May 16 by Gjose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Not sure what you mean by the B in the same spot. That mark on the left side is just damage if that is what you are referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 That is not a "B" it is damage, a hit from the reeded edge of another coin most likely. You can tell its damage because there is metal piled up around the hit where the displaced metal was moved. That doesn't happen when a coin is struck.

RWB Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 PS: John Brown and company did not have a "fort." They captured the US Armory and Arsenal, and the Rifle Works. Here's what happened. https://www.nps.gov/articles/john-browns-raid.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 You need to ditch the microscope; the full photo of the coin tells the tale, but you lose perspective with the microscope and that leads to your wrong diagnosis. l.cutler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
