Walking to the left? I can't not see it now that you mentioned it. There's a little duck to the right of the U swimming in the polishing lines...
I'll use this method to match more trifling die markers when I'm attributing Morgan dollars. If I can describe it to myself with words, I don't...
Everything is still available 20 minutes in. Not the feeding frenzy of the V75 eagles. I also didn't get any pre-sale buy offers.
Congrats!

Imagine if they did bullion, "burnished", proof, reverse proof, enhanced uncirculated finishes for both reverse types and struck them at all 4...
