[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2563479, member: 1892"]Had an opening shift today - I was out of the house at 0500. Stopped to vote on the way and just got home. :) I don't really know what to think of it. The only overdate pickups which seem clearly there and in the right place are next to the 5 and inside the 8; all the others are not visible. I'm struck by the condition of the periphery. Coin Facts has a pristine MS63 with sharp details, and an absolutely beat AU55 much like this one, looking like a die at the very end of it's life. These are too rare for a die pair to have lived its' whole life striking them. You're almost forced to assume either a catastrophic sinking at the periphery or [I]really[/I] accelerated die wear from poor hardening maybe? I'd like to see the date area in much higher resolution, but based on the Coin Facts AU55 example, I'm cautiously optimistic about it. This one is "worn" even further.[/QUOTE]
