kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 02:20 am I decided to go through my odd die category. So I would like to apologize ahead of time for all the pictures I'm about to post. 8 months or so of collecting. It's amazing how much I was able to throw back, from everything I have learned from being apart of this forum. Thanks everyone. First post begins now.

Possibly both.~~ Edit: actually at a second look the rolled rim makes me think it's a Dryer Coin Edited by Adam_E 01/04/2015 02:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 11:35 am It is from a VLDS die and the devices are breaking down. The heavy die flow in the fields and the break down of the devices tells me it is ready to be retired. Note how the USA and the motto are touching the rim area. Die wear is showing strong in these areas. It is not a coin from a capped die as the rims would be beveled more like the another coin posted on a different thread. Also with a capped die, the regular devices would be wear/missing. Just a tired die. Edited by coop 01/04/2015 11:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
