It's it pretty nice shape other than the plating issue. Also looks below Lincoln, it looks like two rims. (I know it's not two rims) Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 7:51 pm As dies wear the metal actually flow outward(from the pounding). The devices will stretch and become wider, especially with more polishings. an attrition ring forms around the edge like seen here. The letters are actually closer to the edge of the die which has been shaved (ground)down because it too has expanded. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm keeping it because it's in very nice condition. Not one thing wrong with it. Looks like it was just made today lol Report this Post to the Staff
