    Looks like heavy die wear to me... There appears to be a lot of flow lines and the devices (letters) look mushy to me!!!

    I have such a hard time with the shields Cliff. There are many that look to have extra thickness to me but I know they are the norm, regardless of deterioration or not.

    When I have problems with the thickness I just hold it up next to my head while looking in the mirror - If it is thinner than my head then it is wear
