Hi AW,

I think there is a typo in your subject title. I think it should be "acquired".

That's a beautiful example for that type. It is fully struck. That issue is known for having flat spots, including my own example.

Here is my example (last coin):

Depending on which reference book you are using, I have seen different descriptions of the reverse. I noted that in my website entry.
