Copperdog Valued Member Canada 131 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 9:13 pm Upon further inspection I found that there was no third D . This is in fact a D over D only . I find it interesting that the first punch is thinner than the second punch . Can some one tell me how this could happen ? Any other information I could receive would be greatly appreciated .

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 11:09 pm The die is a D/D/D. The lower RPM is missing because of die state. When they get into the MDS and later examples it disappears from the die. Thus the EDS examples show the lower RPM and are worth more money. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/03/2013 3:07 pm [quote] Copperdog: RPM #1 later ~~date~~[/img] Later die state. The die is aging. You can see his wrinkles as the die flow is reaching the rim. The devices are weakening on all devices that face the rim. (This happened a lot on the 1950's coins as they were continued to be used past there normal life span.) Edited by coop 08/03/2013 3:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
