coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 5:26 pm Looks it is the result of split plating above the devices. When the pressure is too strong, the strike split the plating between the rim devices and the rim. With even a slight split, the air gets under the plating and start the zinc to deteriorate. I've seen worse examples: Report this Post to the Staff

clbchiro Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 5:58 pm I added lines to what I was seeing, the "S" was the biggest thing for me as it looks like split serifs. Report this Post to the Staff

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 6:03 pm I probably have some of those Coop, any examples? Report this Post to the Staff
clbchiro Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 6:07 pm To me it looked like the master die was starting to make a die and it wasn't centered/tight so they didn't go through a full impression and then they moved/tightened it. I'm just curious if this is even possible. I kept it just in case, but am fully willing to spend it too ;-) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 6:17 pm The master die is a long way up the line from the die: It maybe a combination of split plating and a machine damage in the same strike? But either way, it is not a die issue. Report this Post to the Staff
clbchiro Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 6:26 pm Gotcha, thanks. I knew the master was up the line and was made from the master hub. I couldn't remember if there were more hubs made before a working die or not. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 11:50 am Jerry: On your coin it is actually a different cause that made the date have a shadow. On your coin, it is die wear on that area. The split plating is often just too much pressure during the strike that pierces the plating and the zinc is starting to deteriorate. Could I add your image to my educational file? That is a great example of die wear. Report this Post to the Staff
