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.)

    Assume you are correct. Won’t know until I have the coin in hand though

    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.

    Very cool 😎

    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.
