7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 4:04 pm I like that! Meteor Shower does make more sense. I can't figure out what the mint worker was trying to polish away? I don't see any clashing on the obverse at all or any other die polishing lines. Edited by 7TF 05/07/2013 4:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

You're probably right, but it's more amusing to think that somebody sneezed at precisely the wrong moment. Report this Post to the Staff
