Cud error or just someone jacked it up good? Also look at the date. The 46 in the date is pretty much gone. Doesn't look like it much in pictures as in person but I think this one is a printing error? His ear...Thoughts, questions, concerns? if it's just wear and tear Report this Post to the Staff

This could be a small lamination. The second half of the date is just a weak strike possibly due to grease in the die. the rest? Well I think is just damage from circulation. Collecting since 1972.
