SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 08:04 am I am not sure what this is but I am referring to it as "Wobbling" and "Hashing"... "Wobbles" around the letter devices and "Hashmarks" around the device edges... Looks like the "1" in the date was the pivot point for whatever this is... Anyone know what causes this and what it is called? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74964 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 08:13 am Your coin is in a VLDS (Very Late Die State) since there's a lot of die flow lines and very mushy letters. The "Wobble" you are referring to is Die Deterioration setting in, I think from all of the strikes the die has made. The letters are slowly starting to march off the die. Errers and Varietys.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74964 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 08:48 am You're welcome. Die Deterioration is a lot more common on Copper plated Zinc cents, but it can also happen on Copper cents. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 2:12 pm The die is also over polished, reducing the size of the date digits. Also the the marks around the dates is from polishing into the areas of the sunken devices on the coin. The reduction of the insides of the field/devices areas, leaves a bit of a raised areas around the devices. So this die was used along time (VLDS), over polished (abrasion to die) so the coins now struck with it, look strange compared to a new die state devices. Report this Post to the Staff
