Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 5:06 pm The coin has a fine strike on the reverse but the obverse is even difficult to get a picture of just blurry also a chunk of the 9 looks like it's over hanging. I know about the bulkiness in the liberty I have a few but not with the rim to the extent that this one is. Would it be weak or is it off because I can set the letters clearly they are just riding up to the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 01:05 am Worn dies (flowlines are pretty apparent) I also don't think the surfaces are original to the coin based on the odd luster. I thought might be PIDT at first but it doesn't look that way.
