Wow, that coin box is something else!
Actually I think that's the result of a very weak strike there that didn't eliminate lines on the planchet, or perhaps die polish. Here's one on...
I like what you did in that situation. My daughter has an allergic reaction to "dad" getting involved in her business though, so it's a fine line....
Hard to say how common, but keep in mind it's a grading factory. They don't spend a ton of time obsessing over a single coin. Your first and...
