I found this 1979 D LMC with everything intact except no designers initials. Over polished die I'm sure but those initials from that year are pretty heavy. I took a pic of the bottom few letters of AMERICA just to show the thickness of those letters closest to the designers initials. I'm putting this in a 2x2 just to keep. First one I've ever seen from anything other than the 69, 70 and 71's missing the FG.

@jim, wouldn't this more likely be due to a grease-filled die rather than over-polishing of the die? It is a nice find though.

Possibly a Grease Filled Die but the right corner of the building looks somewhat "thin" as well. I think I would lean towards it being over-polished as well.

Either grease filled or over polished die.

It's certainly 2x2 worthy, though I doubt it'll have much of a premium.

Spence, never even crossed my mind about it being a grease filled issue but you're exactly right.
