thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 08/26/2007 7:32 pm Okay. I'm still trying to get the hang of taking thses pics. There's with something going on with the date. I think it may be a mechanical die. What do you think? Image: IMG_4483jeff62date1.jpg 44.47 KB Image: IMG_4471jff62date2.jpg 65.73 KB Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/26/2007 8:26 pm Lookslike a deteriorated, worn nickel. "Mechanical die" is not a numismatic term. I don't know what you are asking. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 08/26/2007 9:26 pm I agree, the coin is worn and was initially struck by worn dies. That compounds the flattened worn out look of the date. I think you mean Mechanical Doubling. Mechanical die , as Charles says, is not a term used in numismatics. Report this Post to the Staff
Jorgy Valued Member United States 145 Posts	Posted 08/26/2007 10:17 pm Is what I have arrows pointing to what you are talking about? I see something but am not sure what it is. Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 08/27/2007 1:18 pm Yes Yorgy that's what I'm asking about. I do mechanical die, thank you foundinrolls. I'm thinking it was a machine shift that caused this to happen. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/27/2007 2:55 pm So you specifically prefer to use a term that nobody else will understand? The trails on your coin are die wear. Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 08/29/2007 12:46 am Lol!! My mistake. I thought I had put Machine Doubling that second time. Thanks for catching that! I've seen those curved marks around the dates on one or two other coins. How does deterioration cause that? It looks more like there was a shift during the minting process.

Jorgy Valued Member United States 145 Posts	Posted 08/29/2007 4:41 pm Die wear can cause lots of different things. Here is an example of some die wear around the letters. Edited by Jorgy 08/29/2007 7:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
