CoinHobbyist New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 7:35 pm Ooh progressive indirect design transfer. Now it is not just an image but there is actual indentation in the form of Lincoln's Image. Is this still a design transfer? Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 7:40 pm Progressive Indirect Design Transfer: A form of Die Deterioration that manifests itself in the form of a "ghostly" image of a design element on the opposite side of a coin. The force of a die strike travels through the planchet and into the opposite die. After hundreds of thousands of strikes, the outline of the designs begin to transfer to the opposing die and show on the coins that are struck. In the case of Lincoln cents, it is common to see a ghostly outline of Lincoln's bust on the reverse of wheat cents that are struck in later die states. It is especially visible on uncirculated coinage. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75418 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 7:40 pm That's called Progressive Indirect Design Transfer. It's pretty common on Lincoln Wheat Cents. It's a form of Die Deterioration. http://www.error-ref.com/progressiv...gn-transfer/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
