The lower photo has vertical polishing on both sides. Thats not circulation.
These 58's came out of wheat rolls that I stashed years ago. And now residing in a library of coins Album.
Coppercoins also has their examples, die stages will change with the deterioration, matching exactly also means that the coin can have attributes...
I wonder why there were two that said details/cleaned. I would either suspect that they saw the crud left over above ST, or they saw the coins...

Top it off it is the "Best of Variety" for the year. Is that a die crack from eyebrow to hair?

Separate names with a comma.
