This coin belongs to a friend of mine and he wants to know what this is. I told him it looks like some kind of cud or die failure, but I really don't know, so I'll ask the experts...What in the heck is this???????????????
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

...the obverse kinda looks like a capped die. the reverse mystifies me.
could be as the coin melts the surface tension took over and caused most of the obv to “melt” into the rest of the coin. What ever they heated the coin on stopped the rev from melting away and the reason a few of the letters are still viable on the melted side of the rev, must have to do with the strike pressure making the razed parts of the coin melt at a higher point then the rest. Just a guess.
It will not grade, and it's
a waste of money to put
it in a 'genuine' holder, of course.
Hoard the keys.
