KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 04/03/2014 7:40 pm I can't speak to the clip in the 6, but the rest of the images are a result of dies near the end of their lives. The stretched letters are from Die Deterioration as is the thickness in the wheat stalk. It's neat to find all of these things happening on one coin. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2014 9:13 pm On the "6" in the date, a hub had chipped off on that device. There are many dies that show that same hub chip and some are varieties. Very tired die. VLDS The motto shows it the strongest I've seen for some time. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/04/2014 11:11 am VLDS die example. Extreme die wear. This is typical of the 1950's, but the Motto doubling near the rim is the keeper to me. Most of the time you find coins with the die flow from the letters reach the rim. On your coin it is full in that area. First time I've seen it look like that. The BIE, die cracks, die wear is normal for this decade, but the area above the motto is the keeper for me.
