coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/30/2012 12:27 pm This is die wear, as is very common on many cents from the late 70s and early 80s. Hiding the date of the coin from those you are asking for help does nothing at all to benefit you. In fact, it is far more likely to annoy those who may potentially give you a useful answer into not responding at all...like I nearly was. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/31/2012 05:04 am The devices near the rim show wear first as a die ages. Here is an example: Note the area in the gutter of the rim and the edge of the devices next to it. In EDS (Which I don't have an example right now) the devices edge is crisp/sharp edged. On the MDS it start to round over. On the LDS you start to see the die flow in the gutter and the distortion the device's edge near the gutter. On VLDS you see the heavy die flow and the sever distortion of the devices near the gutter of the coins. Hope this helps? Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/01/2012 04:41 am Coop - your diagnostic images need to be comparatively similar. Your first image is of a zinc cent, and your last two are of early memorial cents. They should all be the same die (or at least the same year) so the die age can be visibly noticed without visible design differences. What you're doing there is like showing how people age, but dampening the effect of the comparison by showing different people from different cultures with each age. Report this Post to the Staff
