Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 2:18 pm Please look at the crossbar of each T in STATES and tell me what is going on. At first I thought PSD, but it seems too symmetrical and too coincidental to be that. It looks sorta like split serifs but they are the only ones affected, so it must not be doubling. Could it simply be advanced die wear? I am stumped. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 2:37 pm It is another form of machine damage. Not how the devices are reduced by it? Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 2:44 pm Thanks. I can understand machine damage. What I do not understand is by what mechanism it selects a couple of devices, but not the next one to them? Edited by Pete2226 03/24/2015 2:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 5:50 pm I think it's a matter of the dies not wearing perfectly evenly. The pressure is adjusted for the ideal strike and after awhile that just isn't happening so parts of the coin will have weaker devices....maybe. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 6:59 pm It is caused by die movement. They get sloppy and then do weird things during the striking and ejection process. Thus they are machine damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
