spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 10:58 pm I think there are several things going on here. The letters and numbers appear very thin and I'm thinking die polishing created that (and the lower part of the T was completely polished away). There also seems to to be either Die Deterioration Doubling (consistent with a die that was polished so much) and/or Machine Doubling. The mintmark shows a little MD (seen in upper left corner of loop) and also split-plate doubling and zinc rot has begun. That's what I see but, wait for others' observations.

Yours looks like the Hollywood imagined version of the 70's. We had Greezer, Freaks, Jocks, Nerds and the Oddballs. I would associate with #1 for free beer, #2 for free pharma #3 for the nicer looking girls, #4 for homework answers and still danced to my own tune...when I was Vertical...

The Outsiders is one of the books that I still remember really enjoying. I don't remember the film so much but, it surely is my favorite movie featuring Patrick Swayze. Quote: We had Greezer, Freaks, Jocks, Nerds and the Oddballs. Well, I guess not much changed over the years between our H.S. experiences. I would have probably fallen in the "nerd" or "oddball" category, except I didn't give homework answers.
