How's this for a harshly repolished die?

I recently finished reading Val Webb's early 80's Cameo Proofs 1950-1964 and he talked frequently in that book about years in which the dies were harshly repolished.

I picked this one up this past weekend and thought it met the description rather well. It looks like they had a preschooler repolish the die.

Youch. I have a 54 proof Franklin that looks very similar. Some people can appreciate those for what they are... to me they just looked scrubbed.
