grading notes
Obverse
This is the last year, thankfully, of the current worn-out design. Letters typically merge with the rim, machine doubling is rampant, and the bust shows little detail.
Reverse
Some cents from this year show a lack of complete strike as an incomplete lower edge to the steps on the memorial building.
