The 1st penny under the half dollar, under the dime, is that an off-center cent or 2 stacked cents?

I see another under the 4 leaf clover, so I guess I answered my own question :)

What was he for Halloween? A graduate? And did they not recognize that the SBA is actually a legal tender dollar?

Franklin was Martin Luther. As to the SBA I think most banks do not look in the junk tray each time they do a count. Not all coins make it out the coin return the one with gum stuck on them ect.
