I'm going with a third option - die scratches. From the lighting and shadow on the other elements, they appear to be raised. I've seen very...
I'm very familiar. Our nestegg expired in 2012 and was earning 5.25%. The best we could do then was 1%. Things bounced back up in late 2018 and we...

My first Barber quarter. NGC AU58. Paid way too much. But I figured I should have an example of the third obverse hub type that I just discovered....
