CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 4:31 pm I seem to be between doubled dies, lol so I am posting this one instead. I think some of the devices have reached the rim, what say ye? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 4:36 pm Die flow runs to the rim as well as die wear. The constant squeezing of the die on the copper-nickel planchets, causes the dies to wear quicker. The lower mint marks happen because they are hand punched. Can be in a variety of areas on the location. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 5:06 pm Thank you Sir. I think I will keep this one for the misaligned die. It's definitely marginal, but some devices are on the perimeter. Report this Post to the Staff

jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 6:28 pm Slightly misaligned die also. See how the rim is a little thicker directly opposite? Report this Post to the Staff

Within mint tolerances. probably another effect from the Die Deterioration anyway Report this Post to the Staff
