BenjaminsBaby Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 12:39 am it kinda does but I believe the mint mark took a hit at the top loop making it look "inverted" Report this Post to the Staff
publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 12:43 am That "4" doesn't look right at all. One wonders if the piece hasn't been altered somewhere along the line... though "why" is beyond me. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 3:02 pm Note the crease in the top loop. On an inverted one, that crease would be on the bottom. Report this Post to the Staff
