Here is my experience, in the short time I've been collecting cents. Being from NYC, in general, Philadelphia cents are in better shape than...
That image gave me a good laugh. It looks ridiculous in a slab. Luckily its only 75% off center and not 90%, otherwise you couldn't see anything :D
Its because after the die is made, they do a etching process (one of them that Condor101 mention) which removes some of the details, then they...

I hope to have all three frame structures side by side, by Saturday afternoon. Ill bump this thread as soon as I get some more shot. To explain it...
