Being that this is the very first commemorative piece by the US Mint, and as a celebration of the discovery of America, I&#039;d think that they intended it all of the coins to be struck well (or at least better than business strikes coins, and of similar likeness to medals issued at the time). And, looking at <i>a lot </i>of examples available for sale, the unc offerings certainly have crisp devices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
