Wow that obverse die was stretched to the max. Look at all the lines.

Pretty cool. I didn't notice it until the coin came in and I took this photo. They seem to flow out radially from the central portions.

Somebody tried to pull a fast one with the mintmark. Lassoed it, but couldn't rein it in. Funny how nobody I knew ever brought any of this to our attention. Busy trading baseball cards I guess. The coin is just as old as I am, but none the worse for wear. I'm shot.

I'll go check that mint mark.
