Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 11:35 am The 1 and the 9 and also the mint mark have weird lines coming off of them. I tried to capture it as best I could. I ~~know~~ "think" this is a LDS and it appears to have some MD (although that to is interesting to me) I don't think these are trail dies but they look like "smear" lines that only come off the South east part of the 1 and 9 and the mint mark Edited by Jayman931 04/17/2012 1:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/17/2012 12:56 pm The Lines you mention are die flow lines. These radiate to the rims. It is part of die wear/deteriation. Trails show on even the first die states. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/18/2012 07:06 am No. In that late die state the thin, crisp detail you are seeing as a mintmark would not be possible. It would be all but completely gone if it were a mintmark punch. What you are seeing is an effect of the lighting and/or a stain. Report this Post to the Staff
