I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

I saw the T-I obliterated from the strike weakness, which I assumed was a characteristic of the marriage. Searching the maibockaddict T-I alignment page, I scrolled until I found one that displayed similar weakness. Confirmed with aligning the sides of the scroll to the legend, and glancing at the denomination, everything lines up which confirms the reverse. On the obverse, star 5 is punched noticeably closer to the bust than the other stars. The closer spacing between stars 9 and 10 confirms the obverse. Suffering from bust half fever.
