Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 09/17/2020 2:32 pm I think that pitting could be from a thinned planchet not filling the die but with those pictures it could as easily be acid damage. Clearer photos are needed to give you an answer. Edited by Willburton 09/17/2020 2:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Keep trying, ok? And also, please crop your images to the edges of your coin. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
