Picked this one up today, decisively mint state features and high points but an interesting strike with squishy letters radially on the reverse. Any die experts know what's up here?

Any chance that we could see the entire coin? Both sides?

I'd like to see the entire coin before giving my opinion.

I have a few graded mint state examples to compare against.

I'm not seeing anything greatly out of the ordinary.

What's your explication for the reverse radial deformation/wear while having mint state features on the devices? Because I own a few of these and that is not 'ordinary'
