The more I look at this, the more I can't figure out if it's wear, ED, or Struck Through Grease. There is obviously wear, but do you think it is all from wear, or something else? Ignore the PMD on the reverse, not concerned about that.

What would you say?

Snort! Does it matter? It looks cleaned, the wear is from smoothing it out after possibly being buried then carried. Just lot of wear, too much details are gone to make any assessment on how, only possibly rotated dies, die types (date size) and if enough left OVD's

Yeah, I was just curious. It doesn't look like the rest of the set, so had me pondering. I think I'm going to have to replace this and the '11 in the set.

I think it is a combination of wear and environment damage
