DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 12/06/2015 4:59 pm Here is an 88 with clash marks and heavy die polishing noted. Reflective legends somewhat on both obv and rev, and a small d/c starting from the rim to the the "A" of Canada.. Q1..Is this heavy die polishing often seen on these cents..? Q2..Would that be Die Deterioration on the top of the "T" in CENT..? Q3..Is the bottom of that "T" also a repunch..? Q4..Would that top of the "C" in CENT be die clash or a repunch..? Just a lot of interesting details now noted after a closer inspection of this 1888. Please feel free to add any expertise in on this cent. Thanks.... . .

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 12/08/2015 10:32 am Thanks forumack... That would have to be one teensy-weensy welding rod used on that "T"...die. ..and then the bottom of that same "T" has that little added bar or repunch.. Report this Post to the Staff
