I have seen an other LMC almost like this but you could still make out the bridge of the nose but very, very, very faint. This one I cannot see the bridge of the nose at all.

Sadly, it's back in circulation. Someone at the Denver mint had an 'ax to grind' the day he/she was working on dies. Maybe the Broncos lost a key game a few days earlier.
