Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 11:57 pm Yes, coins struck with rusty dies are a real thing. It's not something that happens with modern dies, as far as I know. It's the older coins that seem to have had this problem. I know of Morgan dollars that use 'Rusty Dies' as an identifier for the VAM listing. Let's see if anyone knows what the most famous of the die coins would be. I'm going to do some research. I also like that the coin in the listing is in 'Proof Condition.' Being a 'Proof' is NOT a condition! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19957 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 6:08 pm As others said, it's a real thing but NOT for very modern issues. I'm not aware of a single Lincoln that was produced on "rusty dies". When someone makes that claim it can usually be easily explained by other coining phenomena. Lincoln Cent Lover!
