The last A in CANADA is weakly struck and the TS in CENTS appears missing. With a stereoscopic microscope, you can at times detect different heights to letters. In fact, this is why you will often see ejection doubling on some letters but not others - its because of uneven heights in the letters. This is a nice variety though. Report this Post to the Staff
