LandonM Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 08/15/2026 09:39 am Sure I have a few graded mint state examples to compare against. Report this Post to the Staff

LandonM Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted Yesterday 2:17 pm 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' Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 192852 Posts	Posted Today 1H 7M ago Interesting. It looks like circulation, but it is weird that the higher (more exposed) devices do not show the same.
