[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7435500, member: 85693"]If you want to see a weakly-struck reverse, I got this last week. As I was getting my second Pfizer COVID-19 shot, I decided to drop by my local dealer's and treat myself to a snack. He had this for $7. I hesitated because the reverse is so awful. But the portrait is a lot better than any of the other 2 Tetricus I's in my collection, so I did my bit to stimulate the local economy.
