itsonlymoney Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 08/23/2015 12:39 pm Thanks for the corrections. I just started my interest in coins after I found a 1982 no p dime. I send it to get certified and now I cant help looking at every coin I come across but it's not easy. hopefully I will get better on spotting good coins * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/23/2015 12:49 pm The top coin is from a more worn pair of dies. As more and more coins are struck, the die starts to wear out, resulting in thicker, more mushy letters and reduced detail. The 60s through the early/mid 80s saw a lot of dies pushed way past their prime. Report this Post to the Staff
