Rob Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Difficult to say. A picture rarely conveys the same impression as something in hand. But there are clear lines on the obverse, hence the assessment. Quote

VickySilver Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 May have been BOTH with the original mint wipe somewhat obscured by later rub. The obverse is much more obvious than reverse but plenty none the less. Quote
