Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/16/2014 5:07 pm The bottom outside loop of the 3 definitely looks like die wear, there's lots of flow lines which makes me suspect that it would explain all the other devices as well. The upper inside loop of the 3 does look a bit odd though, can die wear move inwards as well as outwards? Report this Post to the Staff
AMB Pillar of the Community United States 801 Posts	Posted 09/16/2014 5:25 pm The portion on inside loop is more solid also were the outer is more of a shadow/flow I usually see with die wear. Puzzle? Thx for looking. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/17/2014 6:00 pm Adam: do you mind if I add this image to my educational image library? I have examples of the "So Called" 1955 poor man's doubled die. But I don't have the 1953 example yet? 1950's wheat cents were over used till the Die Deterioration looks like this on many years during that decade.
