    The shield rivets are sharp and distinct.
    The head looks full.
    If I have to knock it for anything, it appears that the design on the center of the shield is a bit soft.
    Or maybe that's because of your image.

    Oh that sheild is sharp and any off centerness is due to it being in the slab.

    Pharmacist get paid junk unless your willing to do like I do and work out in the boon docks. And then you still get paid garbage, just a little bit more garbage. Believe me, you don't want to do what I do.

    I think with this coin I'm done with my SLQ's for a while. It is a great piece and I've shopped for it for over a year.
