coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/31/2022 5:56 pm The extended devices into the rim are caused by extreme die wear. Not a plus for the coin, but would make a discussion point to a new collector as a show and tell item as a non collectable coin. Not a premium for the coin. Looks like the same thing happened on the obverse as well. Edited by coop 10/31/2022 5:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19142 Posts	Posted 10/31/2022 6:04 pm Yes, advanced Die Deterioration it seems. Curiously, it appears the coin may have been exposed to an acidic environment. An accurate weight could tell us more. Report this Post to the Staff
