Don’t you have something else interesting to say ?

All the reverse rays are approximate half-cylinders tapering to the end. Some have re-engraving. The obverse rays are more flattened ellipsoidal cylinders. All the inscriptions were intended to have rounded upper surfaces, but careless manufacture means most coins have flatness there. Note the rounded upper letter and digit surfaces on this 1921 Peace dollar.

[As an aside - notice the clarity/detail of the monogram.]

You haven't heard? Old Ratzie is working on a book and the working title "The Complete Guide to Unknown and Non-existent Varieties and Errors. or Why Am I the Only One to see This $^eeT?"

Every day or so he has a new one that is just a common coin.

It is getting boring.
