Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 2:18 pm My guess, thin planchet at the "IN GOD" area, and LIBERTY, and MAYBE some MD, plus possible Fin below TRUST. I also thought maybe Greaser at LIBERTY ? Dan Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 2:55 pm Some obverse devices display weaken results from die polishing. The reverse in the second bay, displays potential die defect that maybe from the known recurring die subsidence error (a.k.a., sunken die). Concerning the opposite sided obverse and reverse false rim, I would check the diameter and edge closely to rule out potential collar issues as well as verify the weight. Thanks, Doug.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79865 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 3:07 pm No. It's from the results of over polishing the dies down. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2019 4:41 pm Correct answers, Halo and Variteys. Why are they correct? Machine Doubling affects the devices after the strike. These were messed up on the die, and the devices were struck smaller. So die polishing is the cause. The more the die is polished, the less detail remaines Not a struck though grease issue. Why? Because the devices would be wider than normal as the grease affects the deepest part of the die. Thus the taper of the devices would be missing. Instead the devices are smaller than normal because the fields were reduced. Report this Post to the Staff
