CreativeName Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 07:55 am I appreciate the interest. The reverse has some pretty obvious striations where the poor alloy mix is separating, but nothing peeling (yet). As to the design still being recognizable though so much metal is gone — I find this absolutely baffling. I had no idea that designs affected a coin so deeply into the surface. It makes me wonder if there is a point somewhere in the center of this coin, if further metal was lost to peeling, that the Monticello and Jefferson would both be discernible on a single plane.
