THE clarity of my pics gets destroyed when I compress, looks like a jumbled mess when I zoom Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 12/24/2019 11:23 am with Chase007, the flattening came from circulation damage, wear and tear. If it were the 1917 DDO-001 you would clearly see a split in the top curl of the 9 as well as separation in the words IGWT, especially the word TRUST. I am not seeing any of those markers. I am pretty blessed to have one of these in my collection. Edited by Jim0815 12/24/2019 11:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
