The orange peel kind does look like an orange or grapefruit. In the neck area is the die crack, chip or something else? Looks like a clash above liberty behind head. some poor man's die wear on the last digit of the date 3 die crack from bottom shoulder up and into the head area die cracks on both left and right wheat stalks Edited by OcalaFlorida 01/22/2016 11:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 01/22/2016 11:38 am I live in a huge retirement area with 4 LCS, a coin club with over 80 members and 5 flea markets each with 4 plus coin venders I buy bu rolls for cheap off my friend that own lcs. no one looks for varieties so I can trade another bu coin for variety.

SjlundCoin Pillar of the Community United States 534 Posts	Posted 01/22/2016 1:28 pm You are very lucky to have a LCS like that. The only way I can get BU rolls is off ebay for ridiculous premiums. As for the coin possibly a die gouge on the neck? Report this Post to the Staff
JohnDeVito Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 01/22/2016 2:18 pm Could there have been die gouges that they overpolished to try to remove, and that is why the edges of the neckline are poorly defined? Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 01/22/2016 2:48 pm makes sense gouge or clash they polished off ending up with a Floating head Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 01/22/2016 4:09 pm There was definitely a clash event. The C of Cent can be seen above the Y of Liberty . What you see on the neck is probably a gouge or dent. Report this Post to the Staff

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 01/22/2016 9:07 pm The C clash above TY is fresh and unabraded, very nice. This coin is what I'd call terminal die state! Maybe a new term...TDS. Nice group of errors. Are these markers described in the last stage or is this a new stage for the RPM?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/23/2016 3:07 pm The dies suffered a few heavy die polishing and show die wear on both dies. The mark near the Jaw looks like die gouges. (a die issue) There is also evidence of a clash behind the neck. the cracks also lend to the die as having a lot of age with Die Deterioration showing on the outside devices.
