Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/15/2020 5:36 pm 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. Edited by Jim0815 12/15/2020 5:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/15/2020 9:27 pm @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.

I think I would lean towards it being over-polished as well. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
