The uneven metal flow around the legend and FIVE CENTS is accurate for a broadstrike of this type. Blakesley effect is not dramatic but is observed to a small degree. The light brown streaks observed on both sides are seen on this type often. I would like closeup photos of the planchet clip to see the metal flow around that area.
