can anyone explain the " A "s
thanks
Pretty common, known as counterpunches. Just someone mucking around with a punch they found or something similar. PMD whichever way you look at ti.
This sort of thing is quite common on the older Silver coins eg Trade dollars and the old pillar dollars, These often have "Counter stamps" on them to verify that they were genuine Silver.
I can see NO reason why they would have done this to a Copper Cartwheel penny So I agree with Nevol, PMD :ok:
