Here is a fun one (probably many of you have seen). Anyway, I thought it's worth a post.

Notice the almost perfectly doted "I" on the reverse in the word "AMERICA". Likely a die break ?

A neat conversation piece, perhaps!

Looks Like a die gouge. Kind of like a pothole on the die. Most flatten themselves out again (Like die scratches disappear) with striking more coins, But Some like yours Continue to get larger. Catches you off guard when you see something like that. Surprised Surprised Surprised Surprised Surprised
