shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 02/25/2023 9:59 pm I can't figure out if this is a die deterioation doubling in IGWT and if around K.3 through K.6 is this an attempt color the coin or hide some defect, possible die break--there looks like a glue or sap around there Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99941 Posts	Posted 02/25/2023 11:28 pm I think I'll go with Die Deterioration here. and a possible die crack on the bust. Collecting since 1972.

Reno911 Valued Member United States 316 Posts	Posted 02/26/2023 12:33 am I see the the crack as well but I was a little hung up on the coloring of the coin I have the feeling somebody touched it up. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/26/2023 09:39 am Agree with DDD and that crack area does seem a bit oddly colored. Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 10:46 am Laquer or other material had been applied to this coin and the die crack is also Retained Cud. But for the DDD, what is visible that shows it is not a DDO? What else can be provided here, closer up photos? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 10:50 am Not DDD. Just extreme die wear. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15617 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 12:20 pm I see similar shadowing on the legend LIBERTY, in particular on the last three letters. I was prepared to call this DDD, but now coop has me confused. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 12:25 pm What is getting me is the strength of the final 9 of the date compared to the other peripheral devices. Seems wonky to me to be so sharp and nondistorted. Report this Post to the Staff

Never heard of "touching up" a coin. Is this something we need to beware of? The touchup is done to the actual coin itself? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/01/2023 1:33 pm Alteration post strike ruins the value of the coin. It can loose up to 90% if it were a variety coin when altered. Plating, cleaning or what else that can alter a coins surfaces are not a good thing when done wrong. Damage is damage to a coin, regardless of how it was done.
