So you agree, with 20 plus years of experience, that the outer edges get crushed a little?
So now we have the 08 flipped, with the “more crushed” edge on top of 80. And that is the WRONG SIDE. It’s a Forgery.
Of course! With the year plug only being changed once a year, it gets lots of pressure on the outer edge.
But the first two digits being eliminated is so obviously a forgery, I can’t believe this was an over sight by the forger, so why was it forged in this manner?
