Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 9:08 pm Yes hard to say with this much circulation. You might make an argument for the last letter of TRUST being almost completely missing, but overall I think that the weak details on the obverse are due to wear and tear over the last 101 years.
