SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 5:23 pm Well, what caused the double rim on that section of the coin? We'll start with that. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 5:36 pm Rim Cuds are from a chipped collar. A Die Cud would show up on the outer circle of the die inside the rim area. Edited by coop 01/22/2015 9:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 6:24 pm While we're at it, let's look at the front of the profile, IGWT and see if the reverse is as offset as the front.... Report this Post to the Staff
Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 10:30 pm Okay, here's the reverse. Looks fairly normal to me. SsuperDdave, I am really appreciating this lesson. I am clueless so far. Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 01/22/2015 11:51 pm Reverse is normal, not off set at all. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 8:58 pm Oh, I'm completely clueless too. Otherwise I'd have already stated an opinion. There's just a ton of stuff going on which, on its' face, indicates a pretty anomalous strike. Is the front of the profile as weak as it looks? IGWT that spindly? How worn was that die, anyway? The date is sharp. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/23/2015 9:15 pm Looks like the obverse die was clashed and been polished to remove the motto area. Removing parts like you mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff
