I tend to work overnights so I'm often up late, and I like west coast guys. Its not fair to compare my SLQ 1917 to the one the original poster...
BTW and FWIW, the second hand information I've seen from Cline and from looking at his website, I'm not a fan of his opinions or expertise. Now...

Soaked in what? Ruben
Ah Frank, you just saved me the trouble of doing what you just did. Because that is the other big problem in explaining this coin as just weak...
and its not just rivets, but stripes, the hanging drapery from the shield, the sharpness of the points on the shield design, and this pattern...
Words at this point are obscuring the facts. Your making the case that the OP's weakness pattern appears normal and further the shield has more...
Also, the head of the OP's coin is much more detailed, even with eye lashes, and the garments on the HA example you linked to is more detailed by...
In that example it has 14 visible rivets. I think the two examples don't compare. Ruben
