Paul St Louis Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 06/05/2024 3:26 pm KM 97 C-N 5.1g (I checked weight several times) 20.5 mm It's beautiful. The second '8' looks a little odd, but I think it is just wear. What I find interesting is that above the first '8' the bottom circle of the shield appears to be cut short of the date. In other words, it is not a nice fully rounded circle. I see a small die break to the left just below the arrow head, maybe that has something to do with it? Report this Post to the Staff
