Tracy, it would be helpful if you showed the entire obverse and reverse of the coin as from what little I can see, it appears to be normal wear from circulation. The rim and 1 in the date appear worn, so the lack of clear IN and T could just be wear.
Opinions, I guess that's what this forum is about. But my argument is like the three blind men describing an elephant. Only part of the picture is being offered.
Careful Tracy, Paddyman98 got a lot of his moves from John Travolta...doesn't get dirty, though, unless coin /metal detecting...
I normally do full pics, but I was in hurry before I left for the...oops. I will get full pics when I get a chance! thanks Paddy!!
In this case, full pics aren't really necessary. It's just that some people insist on them whether they are needed or not.
