    I found this in some change and thought I'd post it here it looks really faint on the front.

    Faint? It may have been struck with a partially grease-filled die. In any event, give it some smelling salts and send it on its way.

    The mouth area looks faint probably due to a debris filled die. The rest looks well struck.
    Not a major issue.

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    I would say that it came from an overly polished die.

    Possibly over polished to eliminate a clash?
