What do you all think? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 105978 Posts	Posted Today 1H 16M ago That is what we call Die Deterioration Doubling. It is cause by a worn Die and adds no value to the coin. I also note split plating on the MM too. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
