Yes. It is very slight. Thanks for noticing it. I looked a Variety Vista and RPM-001 seems to confirm that. As far as repurposing the date I think...
Well, thank you. I have had them since 1958 and didn't know it. I'm still getting around to the stuff I accumulated over the last 70 plus years.

So the US Mint will keep making ballast and the USPS will continue making wallpaper. If they are not going to put half dollars into circulation...
I'm still very much an apprentice. One thing I try to do before I start is to find a photo of the coin as it should be. Or, one very close. Then I...
I'm not getting them to show quality. I just want them nice and identifiable. It takes hours of soaking and light touch to get anything out of...
