You can tell how worn a die is by examining the coin independent of any other coins from the same die. Just look for metal flow lines, chips, cracks, clashes, abrasion lines and other signs of die use. Flow lines, in particular, follow a steady and regular progression as a die wears.

 Wow! That is awesome to have it listed on the slab like that too!   Too bad they couldn't list your name on it for the discovery. Edited by wquinn

Thanks everyone, I'll try to "borrow" my good camera back from my daughter tonight and get some better pictures. Basic light/medium doubling of "IGWT", initials, date and lighter doubling of "Liberty"

Super Find! That's a keeper for life; you have made a mark in numismatic history. Who knows; over the years only a few of these might show up and for you to have the original first find, that's something to crow about.

Indeed ... tremendous evidence that dedicated variety hunters can continue to make new discoveries ... Great find after 72 years of no reports. David |

I am suddenly reminded that I own a 1950S dime.
Better pull it out and take a look.

Great find after 72 years of no reports. I'm no math whiz, but isn't it 62 years? Still a long time! |
