Atlanta Man Finds Silver Dollar With Heads on Both Sides
Hanne W. Compton, a noted Southern Cotton Oil traveler, returns from New Orleans with a genuine sliver dollar bearing heads on both sides. The coin shows 1906 on one head and 1908 on the other, a result of minting error explained by a New Orleans employee who swapped coins during production.
