You mean like this 1983 example? https://www.ebay.com/itm/373124602488
Just found this cool little medal in the past week. My photos below: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think the spotting on the reverse was showing up much more pronounced in your photos than in the PCGS photos. It almost looks like pitting in...
You mean awful Blue ANACS - not NGC. That coin has a very peculiar toning spectrum. I don't mean peculiar in the "questionable" sense, but you...

LOVE that reverse design. These are very hard to find nice, so you got a nice one there! Congrats!
