I do see some weakness in several areas, including on HALF and DOLLAR. I think that at least some is due to a little grease in the the die.

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 11/01/2020 8:44 pm I agree the reverse looks like MD. Also the dies that struck this coin were very worn, there's some rippling going on in the fields which usually doesn't happen until a late die state. There may have been some grease or polish in the dies, but I would think that the cause of some of the weakness is from Die Deterioration as well.
