Interesting, but no real discoveries or insights in my view.
The left profile similarity was already known.
The recovery of the Judd-9a 1792 date from the density scan is cute, but no surprise that it matches the other coins made from that die. It feels like a "rich man's Nic-A-Date".
The speculation on the various scratched letters is rather pointless.
M and E for initials of Maria and Eckfeldt seems unlikely in my view.
Why would a person choose the first name of one person and the last name of the other for a "love token"?
