One last one for a while, so I don't spam the boards. Looks like it came right off the press, huh? Again, could have been dipped, but in an OGH, so I am comfortable with the stability. For those not familiar with the issue, the mushiness of the denticles is common on this one. Note the lines in the stars -- they are there.
Thanks for looking. None of these are for sale any time soon. I wanted get them out of the bank and take some photos. I was pretty happy with the photos, so I thought I would share.

Feel free to criticize the coins I post. I don't take it personally. The coins are what they are, nothing more, nothing less.

well know that is a great coin. amazing to see so much red.
it just depresses me to know that these coins are so easy to damage
if the previous owners do not take care. alas, copper.
I knew it would happen.
Spam is subtle or not so subtle attempts to sell something. Posting coins is allowed here.

I think you are right about the worn dies. Maybe some experts can enlighten us.

I'm no expert, but I believe the weak denticles are caused by die crumbling (wear)...Mike
