Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 06:16 am @TB, a nice pick-up. What do you think is going on with the rim at about 3 o'clock on the rev?

(Maybe even a tapered planchet as well or just circulation?) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
