To me it looked like the master die was starting to make a die and it wasn't centered/tight so they didn't go through a full impression and then they moved/tightened it. I'm just curious if this is even possible. I kept it just in case, but am fully willing to spend it too ;-)

The master die is a long way up the line from the die:  It maybe a combination of split plating and a machine damage in the same strike? But either way, it is not a die issue. |

Gotcha, thanks. I knew the master was up the line and was made from the master hub. I couldn't remember if there were more hubs made before a working die or not.

Jerry: On your coin it is actually a different cause that made the date have a shadow. On your coin, it is die wear on that area. The split plating is often just too much pressure during the strike that pierces the plating and the zinc is starting to deteriorate. Could I add your image to my educational file? That is a great example of die wear.

Die wear is usually towards the rim area. This happens to dies as they wear. The single squeeze dies have a shallow relief so this show us faster on these coins. But they are not a premium coin. They just catch out eye like the split plaiting and machine damaged ones do. Normal die/die wear. But always nice to know what they are.  See if you like this? If you ever get a better image, I would be glad to add it, but this is fine. Edited by coop

I've already found a couple myself.  But I liked your coin as it is stronger than ones I've seen before.  You can see the wear direction to the right on the date and to the left on LIBERTY. Edited by coop

The last one is listed on ebay for $15, but that includes 49 normal cents as well. I use his images often and he doesn't mind. I did buy one coin from him a while back. 1972P-1DO-006 He include an image of all of photos from the auction plus a "Million Dollar Bill." |
