Can someone tell what is the story with that square punch mark?  I have a near-slug coin with the same punch.  Though the reverse is blank the obverse has a faint bare head left so it could be the same coin.  Was this punch somehow associate with this issue?

I don't know for sure, Shawn, but it looks like a nail hole.

And plenty old enough to be a square nail?  P.L.
