Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 07/02/2024 2:35 pm 2 questions. What is going on with the W in We? It has horns. Would that be Die Deterioration? #2 What caused all the striated lines on the reverse? A poorly strike specimen. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19119 Posts	Posted 07/02/2024 3:23 pm The plating issue--to me--is manifest in the pebbly look. Hint of Die Deterioration on the obverse. Die abrasion on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
