I give away money. I collect money.

    Interesting date!

    Wondering: Is there a known variety with a die break through the date? Might explain the "night and day" look of the date...and allow you to attribute it! Always fun.... ;)

    That’s a terrible candidate for “worst”. You need to get out more.

    What’s wrong with my candidate for not contending ?😊

    It has far too much detail and not nearly enough damage (of whatever type).

    Plenty of wear though and just enough detail to see the date 😊

    Agreed. It is not even close to contention.

    I love it for a buck! Looks like just heavier wear from 6-9. IMO. Peace Roy

    I can see part of the 8...and that straight line of demarcation between the 0 and 8 looks as if it could be a die crack...or was....wondering if that area over the 18 and further (6 - 9) could be the remains of a cud....Cheers, RickO
