The coin is slightly too thin on one side and to a lesser extent on the opposing rim; highlighted in blue on the last image. On the reverse I'm not sure if there is a rim restricted second strike. Indentations on the rim above almost all letters. Incuse area above the N in "cent", could be nothing more than grease failed to flow there or maybe something else. Regardless, its a beautiful coin boasting a nice crisp red color with streaks of toning throughout. Report this Post to the Staff

Not like a small one, but one that has some larger tanks to be able to turn a coin red in color. Very spendable. (It is now out of the torture chamber) Report this Post to the Staff
