NOW ANOTHER IS that this also could be a "Flip-over"=20
strike,....however, on either side, no evidence of the wreath or=20
lettering can be seen,......but that would not be that uncommon due=20
to the "Die State" from one of the sides, the reverse where the die=20
had sunk, so therefore, the striking pressure could not push the=20
metal up into the die design, that would cause a extremely weak=20
reverse and with the condition of wear, GOOD-4,..no reverse wreath=20
