Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 01:24 am That's some serious die flow lines. Extremely worn die; Very Late Die State (VLDS). Edited by Matteproof 07/16/2014 01:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 01:49 am Looks more like a damaged coin. Notice the high points on the coin namely the rim,Lincoln,memorial Bldg. The copper plating has been scraped,scuffed,sanded,or worn down to the zinc core.What ever happened I don't believe it came from the mint this way IMHO Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 05:29 am I agree that it is just a damaged coin and not an error. Report this Post to the Staff
Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 11:08 am I think because the rim of the coin is damaged that its PMD. I am fairly certain. Report this Post to the Staff
Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 11:37 am I agree that the obverse most certainly has been filed down/faced some kind of agressive PMD, but what I see on the reverse under the Memorial--die flow--makes me think that this cent was struck from VLDS dies. Does anyone concur with VLDS..? Edited by Matteproof 07/16/2014 11:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 11:57 am The area under the Memorial does look a lot like VLDS, BUT usually when the die flow lines are that heavy close to the center they should also show even more heavily out close to the periphery and I am not seeing that.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 1:02 pm Zincolns do not usually show extreme die flow/erosion and the photo is heavily pixellated so it could simply be distortion of the photograph. Another possibility is that whatever was done to the obverse was also done to the reverse to a much lesser degree. Report this Post to the Staff
