I was metal detecting an area that was estblished in the early 1940s. It was a CCC camp park that they created.. i believe this coin has been there since then. I was taking a group coin picture and noticed that it said United State… without an S on states. I find it hard to believe that the guy that lost it scraped it off. Your thoughts are appreciated as well as a possible value. Thank you in advance
I could be wrong but it looks like post mint damage to me. The S and the O next to it are both damaged, and the edge of the coin appears slightly bent right above those letters.
