I just didn't think that color-balance would cause some of you to see "issues" relative to the dirt.

Is that wear in that quadrant possibly combined with a weak or greased strike? If the PLU and the O in ONE are weak, what's to say that tip of those wheat lines isn't (at least, in part) weakly-struck, as well? I don't know; I haven't seen, let alone handled, enough of these.
