Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 11:19 am The wise men will be along to offer input. What it looks like to me is a bit of a few things; PMD, MAD, and die wear. The dies were worked pretty hard in the 80s, so you see lots of redressing of the dies to keep them in service. But this led to devices being compromised, especially outer devices. Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 1:01 pm I agree... Very Late Die State and a slight MAD (misaligned die). Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 4:57 pm Also the die edge on the left looks like it was over polished. (that will reduce the height of the 'L'. Or another possiblilty, it is die attrition and the side of the die was rubbed off? Note how close the IN GOD is on the rim area? Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 5:05 pm Die wear. This type of die wear, which I've called "design-devouring die wear" entails the field portion of the die sinking down as far as the deepest portion of the letter recesses. This results in the thinning and ultimate disappearance of the affected letters. In Lincoln cents it most often appears just internal to the design rim, where it forms a " Ridge Ring" (Eric Von Klinger's term). Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
