    The error of hitting the eagles beak with something and flattening it.

    I agree. It did make it look kind of like a cool dragon's head, though. Neat. image

    Contact mark or bag mark. Not an error.

    LOL


    Outhaul.... you are a funny man.



    The coin in question has what is known as "post strike" damage. It happened after the coin was minted.

    I have no idea but it looks like the W.C. Fields variety.

    Karl Malden works too. image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
