Just purchased on the bay a little while ago while sitting in my truck at work :wink: Rather interesting placement don’t you think? To bad for that spot on the reverse.

    Because he got hit upside the head and cracked his skull.

    Exactly actually 😂

    Very nice!

    Cracked skull and weeping because he was in bed asleep when the earthquake hit the Monticello and a bit of the ceiling fell upon his head (presuming that is a crack on the left wing.)

    I wonder if he has a twin or not. Or a few depending on the die state at the time?

    That's the best explanation that can be made for this coin.

    They were kicking out war issues so fast their quality control wasn’t the best. I am amazed how many error war nickels there are

    Very nice late die state, keep looking, you might be able to build a "progression set" of the die pair

    @Kliao, Jeff is crying because he wished to be the 1st president, not the 3rd

    I like it! It would be quite valuable if it was a Morgan VAM.
