Thanks, John. Makes me wonder how many of these kinds I have missed! Anyway, I find so few of anything worth keeping - it is good to find this!  |

Wish it was in better shape. I have searched so many rolls over the past decade, that I stopped looking at coins with less that great eye appeal. I know I am most likely tossing away doubled dies and RPMs, but I just cant bare the thought of finding one of the big ones only to find out it has a major flaw.

It looks like the Die Deterioration affected the outside devices on the motto a bit. Thus some of the notching and tops of the motto may not show the earlier die state hub doubling. The lines on CENT are also at a different angle. But because of the later die state, this could happen. The hub doubling on the top and bottom of the bust are partly there. But I feel this is a match for this die, just a different die state. |

I knew that some of the features were not as clear as I wanted, but only thought of circulation wear as being the cause. I had not thought about the possibility of Die Deterioration. Thanks for that. I still look at worn coins unless they really are beyond all hope! I would rather find something than find nothing at all! Living in South Texas, I see Philadelphia Mint coins in about 5% to 10% of the coins I see. I don't know whether or not it is true that a huge percentage of errors and varieties are from the Philadelphia Mint, but it certainly seems that way! I have heard you guys express similar frustrations! |

More like .1 percent on the coast of Arizona. When they get here they look pretty bad. Mostly snow birds bring them here.

on the coast of Arizona I have never hear this phrase - what does it mean? Where I live we refer to the "coast" to mean the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. |
