Appletrader1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/21/2021 1:45 pm I was wondering if someone could help me ID this error... several stars at the bottom of the coin look like they've been "smeared" along with the F in "FG". Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 18600 Posts	Posted 02/21/2021 7:41 pm @apple, first welcome to CCF. Second, for sure better pics would help, but that smearing might be due to use of a tired die. As the dies start to wear out, striations appear in the fields of coins struck with them.

Appletrader1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 2:19 pm I'm still figuring this forum out so my apologies for the poor pics. I have trouble uploading pics because they always seem to be too large (file size) even when I use the photo optimizer tool... anyway, thanks for the help. I think it is a worn die. After some research it seems this is a known verity for the 72 D half dollar. It also seems to be a good example of the early to mid stage of wear as some coins with this issue look even worse. Anyways, I thought it was pretty cool to compare this to some pics of other coins with this same error and see how it progressed. Report this Post to the Staff
