mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 04/09/2016 12:56 pm Worn die, but no "die polishing" (intentional die abrasion). This form of Die Deterioration involves a retreat of the field down to the deepest levels of the design. That's why the letters grow thin. I call it "design-devouring die wear". I've written two Coin World articles that pertain to it. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
