All the letters and designed look very strong to me. I noticed the initials FG has something going on. The F is missing the the G is very weak. Well thank you for all your help.

The U.S. Mint does this, so they can get rid of Die Clashes, and it extends the life of the die a little bit longer. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
