    I'm not familiar with the series. Is it common for the initials to be polished away this much? The disappear completely at some angles, and there's only a ghost image at others.

    Can you post a full photo of the obverse,
    and reverse, of the coin?

    ......something is 'off' about it.

    Thanks for the additional photos.

    I can see, although weakly, the
    designers' initials in the photos,
    especially the last one above.

    I don't think this would be a new
    'missing' initials variety.

    Thank you for taking a look. It's from a small collection I bought yesterday. When you mentioned something looked "off" I started wondering what I might have missed. I was about to start weighing silver eagles and testing proof sets for magnetism. :)
