Second, by "off" do you mean that the last two digits are slightly thicker due to circulation flattening? Or do you mean that the rim has worn down and started to merge with the zero? Or something else? Thx for clarifying your question.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/22/2022 11:01 am Are you talking about the spacing of the digits and how 19 appears far from 40? If so, I think it's an optical illusion caused by the dark toning on both sides and then none in between. Report this Post to the Staff
