C&C has these listed as 'filling on leaves'. Is that due to die polishing or light strike or? Thanks   |

Thank you for your replies.
Castor I too was thinking die polishing. 1979 seems to have had a lot of clashes and light strikes I think someone might be hard pressed to find one with a nice detailed strike both sides, I have a few nice ones but most of them seem to lack detail in the queens hair and crown.

Since this affects the lowest points of the coin it would be over polishing. If you look at the left veins of the maple leaf it's also flat. A weak strike would affect the highest points.

Castor Thanks for the links and pics I'll take a look through them. I have slight doubling on the 9s of these ones too.  |

I went through about 6 1979 OBW's.. Lots of doubling (1979, 979, 79, and 9). Also was lucky enough to find 8 rotated coins (from multiple rolls) https://goccf.com/t/157468Edited by qbvbsite

That is the result of abrasion of the die from over polishing. You see the effects on both hammer and anvil dies from that year, most often associated with devices that are relatively shallow (close to level of the fields) and in places where the devices meet the fields (like rounding off the corners on a piece of wood).
