I really need some help here
I don't know it this is some sort of DDD, Die Trails, True Doubling, MD, or a mix of things.
Was difficult to get real good pictures because of the glare. Hopefully you can see it well enough to see.
Thank You!

Tough call. I do see some die flow lines present, so the reverse die is worn somewhat. I'm thinking a Die Deterioration issue, in my opinion.

I agree there is Die Deterioration and maybe it's these old eyes, but I do see more than Die Deterioration.

The stars under "ATE" seem to show thickness & notching on the right & left arms.

The "points" coming out of the top of the stars do look like trails, which would be from die polishing.

Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

All those things still have had me wondering!
I thought the "shoulders" on the stars look like a little more than deterioration.
I was hesitant to call the points on the rays and stars Die Trails, since they don't seem to strickly follow the rule of being parallel to each other. Don't know if there is such a thing as "atypical" die trail, or, if the distance between each device allows for the variance.
Once Wexler reopens attribution services, I plan on submitting one of these (I have three). Then I'll post an update.
