Unfortunately, I had to miss the Denver Coin Expo.
Fortunately, it was because I decided to go visit my parents in Nags Head, OBX.
I love it there and was excited to spot something to share with the wonderful folks here.

I've been to the area a lot over the years but never visited the Wright Brothers Memorial even though I've seen it while driving by a bunch of times.

    How did they mess up the date so badly?

    obviously a replica nickel, but should "cents" be on the back of a 1903 nickel?

    Yes - began later in 1883. The first run(s) in 1883 didn’t have CENTS.
    Btw, @Kurisu: beautiful pics!
