@jeff rose
surface on the '37 looks very porous. Was it a ground find? It could have been getting environmental damage and was cleaned hard at some point 100 years ago and that surface was the result.
Either way, nice details to the coin overall.

Very nice for a problem coin.

Yeah, that's a problem I'd like to have in my 7070. Still need to fill that hole!

Looks like many of us have a hole in this slot.
