Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 11:12 am ok, So the points of interest are above the E there is a couple raised line, some what looks like small die chips in fron of the face. Also there is a small tail coming off the rim just below the date. And I'm not sure if the dot behind the head is a contact hit. I'm working on better pics. So in my efforts to learn I just want to know what the cause is. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 12:13 pm The mark under the date is a die dent. The mark looks like a coin fin. No big money for these as they fairly common. Slight MAD on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 1:59 pm Ok. Thanks coop. I knew you would have an answer. Now I remember seeing a topic on die dents. Any thoughts on the marks above the E? Is there such thing as a double die dent? It almost looks like it could be two right next to each other. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 2:07 pm That looks like Die Deterioration. The die is showing die flow in several areas of the fields. So the die that struck your coin is showing it's age. Report this Post to the Staff
