$133. Thoughts? Thanks!

There appear to be semi-circular lines behind the shield. I count 3 of them. Anyone know what they might be?

VF-35, and no clue. Tanman has the SNV, so he might be able to help.

weak strike both sides on this one. XF40 but it looks like it had a dip in the pool

looks very precisely semicircular and parallel for die breaks. I was thinking clashed but it seems to distinct and does not appear to conform to any reverse design feature.

This came in. The lines behind the shield's cross haunt me. Any clues? Thanks!

those lines look raised. very confusing as they don't run through the devices so it has to be on the planchet or the die. I'm going with planchet
