Guys, need a bit of help here. Trying to help someone out in determining of this missing log variant is a good one.

I have checked examples here on the forum for comparison. Overall it looks good but my concern are the weak details, primarily on the upper half of the award.

As you can see it is in near mint condition so maybe the details are weak due to the die wearing out….in line with the die flaw of the missing log.

Or maybe it’s just my imagination…

Any thoughts on originality??? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the double post of pictures…doing this from a tablet.
