ComeHonor716 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 11:07 pm I've most definitely tried searching for the name of this. Is this just Ridge Ring. I couldn't find an example like mine. The tops of the letters are super deep and it only affects the top obv and lower rev. I just want to know what's going on. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34443 Posts	Posted 03/07/2023 04:15 am That does seem to be an area where the dies wear out. My vote is for this being Ridge Ring. Also, for completeness, can you please tell us the date and mint for this cent? Thx.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21654 Posts	Posted 03/07/2023 06:30 am A Ridge Ring caused by Die Deterioration. In the future, please include a photo of the complete coin. We don't even know what year that is which can sometimes be important. Report this Post to the Staff

ComeHonor716 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 03/08/2023 6:36 pm Some more pics. Just weird how it only affects the top of obv and bottom of rev. Is there a scenario where a die is not flush and the top is making contact first or with more pressure? Report this Post to the Staff
