onebakedpotato New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/10/2021 7:12 pm Found this Kennedy half 1992 D. I am baffled as to what may have caused this damage. In the Reverse picture, 11:30 and 8 0'clock is at the Ds. Edited by onebakedpotato 02/10/2021 7:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

onebakedpotato New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/10/2021 8:16 pm Thank you for your reply. In my limited experience, I haven't seen anything similar. I was unfamiliar with the term Die Dent. Will look that up. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 02/10/2021 9:07 pm Often times the details are poorly struck up on the opposite side of the coin directly across from the Cud as the metal that would normally have flowed into those details has pooled in the space where the chunk of die is missing. This is more pronounced with larger Cuds and I think not apparent at all with Retained Cuds.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 2:00 pm Looks like the coin was hit on the upper edge of the reeds to alter the edge. Just a damaged coin from what I can see. Report this Post to the Staff
