The sad thing is, that coin was probably nice before the doctor got to it.

Number 4 is having a bad wig day.

Lol at that list of problems on the label. It’s a details coin that really “has it all!”

Yep. Coin 4

I know, the surfaces look the most original by far imo.

4. The hair detail has been engraved or “tooled.” The original design was never that sharp as you can see from the other coins.
