Looks to be a re-plated too, which I've notice amplifies existing condition on the coin.

Yes common--yours is a good example of a tired die though.

With the question answered, I noticed it is in very good condition with beautiful toning. I would put it in a 2 x 2.

Best to stick to one. If the 10 are all the same thing, then posting one, you will then have the answer for the other 9.

Nice coin. I think a closer look should be taken at the MM. There is a significant separation between the raised visible "S" and the flattened section to the right. The coin does exhibit Die Deterioration, however, MD should also be considered as a contributing factor, IMO. Comments welcomed. |
