Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 5:16 pm I was thinking the same thing as CH27, but with a weight like that, tapered planchet seems right. 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

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 9:42 pm Thanks folks! I noticed the lack of similar weakness on the reverse, but there is weakness on the wheat and rim, so I went with tapered planchet (common on this year) as opposed to a lost lamination across TRUST that was then struck weak due to that. Also didn't think a bit of lost lam on trust would lower the weight that much. I have another 1952 that look almost identical to this one which I think I posted almost exactly a year ago.
