    Beautiful coin, but 1 question. Is it my eyes or does the rim look wabbly? It doesn't look quite round, so is this d/t being a specimen or a trial piece? Just wondering.


    Later, Paul.

    I see it too. I wonder if that's why it's only an MS-61.

    That rim looks awfully beaten up to me, but I do not know if that is normal for the issue. Regardless, are you posting this here because it is yours? If so, you should try the BST board.

    Indeed it is, and I should have posted it there instead. Is there a way to delete this post? Thanks!
