[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2729064, member: 1892"]Given the skritchiness of the obverse device, I can't help but think that 63-64 ought to be the absolute ceiling for this coin. The bust looks almost like a Business Strike from that standpoint, and the reverse is certainly having moments of its' own.
