The that struck your coin was in a Very Late Die State, when it struck your coin. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 08/31/2018 12:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cldague Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 08/30/2018 5:19 pm Would that cause the doubling on the obverse also? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

cldague Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 03:20 am Thanks, I wanted to make sure. Why is a coin not an error coin if the die has become so warn and produces mistakes during the process. Like die cracks, clashes and ext: Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 4:18 pm Because of the number of them struck. The best coins are the first 25% struck. The last 75% are the ones that start showing a lot of die wear. The last 50% can look like your coin when the dies really start showing their age. They are very easy to find, thus like sand and gold, the more abundant something is, the less valuable it is. Report this Post to the Staff
