coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/01/2007 12:18 am First coin is a corroded coin with a hit on the mintmark. Second coin is die wear. Third coin is a hit on the date with subsequent wear. Unfortunately none are varieties or errors. Report this Post to the Staff

Tempest New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 4:45 pm die wear on only 2 letters? I'm making up a term here, but it looks like a 'ghost image' of the I and B are still there. how does that happen? Report this Post to the Staff
livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 06/30/2007 4:47 pm Tempest, This is only an opinion. I am not an authority. Notice the uneven-ness of the rim area? It seems to be "puffy". which , (IMHO), is caused by the upset mill, "crushing" the edge of the planchet. Then the striking process causes it to be struck sooner than the rest, by a nano-second, leaving an impression of the die. Then the full "weight" falls, and the full impression is then transferred. The final thought is that the "early striking of only a small area, (like maybe only two letters), will cause more wear in that area of the die, because of having already srtuck, momentarily. Crude at best, but that is what I believe is the cause, or one of the causes of this anomily. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
