-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8732 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 6:02 pm The obverse is very cool looking, definitely extreme die wear involved.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 03/30/2025 1:20 pm Yeah, that looks like it was primarily caused by extreme Die Deterioration. Maybe some circulation wear or exposure to a weakly acidic environment, too. That will make devices fuzzier. Report this Post to the Staff
