snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1235 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 8:55 pm jjn1944 Yes, it has! Figured D.D. was just curious about the width of the letters. Guess the flattening would do that! Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 9:04 pm I would also suggest that a Coin Wrapping Machine had a role in this flattening. You can see the parallel grooves in EPU. That would have probably hit the tops of USoA as well. Report this Post to the Staff
