I would appreciate opinions on this to find out whether I am right or wrong. Do people collect errors like this or should I throw it back?

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 8:33 pm Looks like a case of Die Deterioration.I see a lot of metal flow lines on your coin directed towards the rim, An indication of a die that was on it's last leg.IMO Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: Cool! That die was really worn. I would hold on to that one. It only costs 50 cents to keep it. Yes - .50 is not much, but I tend to hoard everything and am trying to cut down/weed out. I might later put some stuff like this up for trade here on CCF. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

change4thebetter Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 10:55 pm That is one nice looking coin...even though worn dies are not on some peoples lists... this one seems to have a design all of it's own due to Die Deterioration...Just my thoughts... nice....and really nice pictures too.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 04/05/2013 12:22 pm @coop - some days I feel just like the guy on the sign! @ changeforthebetter - thanks for the complement on the pics - simple set up - tripod, sunlight coming in the window, coin-tube prop under the coin to force the camera to auto focus on it, and an 1.00-cost home-made macro lens. Thanks for the info everyone. Not sure what I will do with it yet. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
