I saw America when they were on a USO trip to Misawa Air Base in the early 90's. They were all military brats before they became a band.
To add a coin spin to this, we used no US cents on the bases in Japan. Everything was rounded to the nearest nickel. 2 cents and below were rounded down and 3 cents and 4 cents were rounded up to the next nickle. Worked well and they didn't have to ship tons and tons of cents to the Far East for change.

I'm going to completely disregard this Skip, as I am more used to Speared Bisons.
Happy Thanksgiving.

What was the question? Is it a quiz? How did the spear occurred?
Cool!
That is neat. I have seen coins like that.

Hope you can get one in your collection.

Either a gouge, damage, or tool mark into the die that left a raised mark on the coin.
That's really cool!

No quiz? Wait, found it...
How about some dessert after the trip through the desert? 😄
Was this trip through the desert on a horse with no name?
Is that in the Cherrypicker’s Guide as a variety?

DESERT has several definitions. The one I posted has nothing to do with FOOD! Look it up and expand your vocabulary.
Perhaps I should have used: "...all and a "desert" for the..."
Hense...the song by America.
I took a dessert to the desert on a horse with no name, and in reality, it's all the same.
In the Dessert, I found a coin that was lame, so I buried it in the desert and it gave me no pain.
Oh man.............................

A camel with no name
Why can't we just name it?
I received a dessert in the desert as a just desert.
Just don't dessert this forum!
