These are notorious for inability of a solid strike to fill in both the stars and rays on the reverse and the columns in the shield on the obverse. Yours has considerably better strike in those two areas. Columns show few flat spots and reverse stars only missing a couple of segmentations. Hence the higher eye appeal. Less than average die cracks, which I also like. Seriously well thought out purchase. Edited by moxking 09/12/2019 4:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
