Found this while searching rolls. Not sure what caused the lack of detail in the one leaf.  |

Could it have been cause by die polishing?

Could it have been cause by die polishing? I first posted the photo in a Coin Roll Hunting thread and someone else also mentioned die polishing as a possibility. You can see that the lack of detail also extends below where the point of the other leaf overlaps. I've looked at a lot of small cents and this one appears odd to me for another reason as well. The fields are darker except for the areas close to the devices. Like a cleaned coin but reversed. There are clearly visable traces of some kind of residue surrounding the devices. It makes me wonder if a chemical reaction has taken place which caused this but I'm not sure. Edited by o-train

The hangers listed alone tells me there where plenty of die clashes happening which means lots of die restoration, polishing ect going on. IMO
I dont believe those are zoell numbers, they mention when using zoell, they might be C&Cs numbers.

Hi o-train, Here's that 'shiner' I was talking about with the Jefferson I have. I have two that I recall - odd how the details were flattened in that area. Perhaps filling?  |

Over polished dies. Devices close to the fields, or near the same elevation on the die surface, are affected.

1977 is a common year to see over polished reverse dies. Here is one from my collection.

Hello To clarify the meaning pictures of the numbers here: These are numbers that are a result recognition awarded for each picture, no matter the denomination, which is used to track these photos by the administrator of Coins and Canada. I notice as often as CCF forum members uses the site http://www.coinsandcanada.com/index.phpto see photos of the defects on parts. If you go to the site in French http://www.numicanada.com/pieces-de...nt-1953-1964you can for each defect that has a number of photos to see the same flaws and comments that there was. If I take for example that red and I click on the arrow you can enter often to other pictures. http://www.numicanada.com/forum/vie...8406&start=0 Defects already identified by Zoell are written in black on the same line. PS: I made this comment for the sole purpose of helping those who want to see more. |

Thanks for the confirmation on the numbers Castor. That 77 is a fine example I've also seen quite a bit of it on 79s.  |

It's an interesting look. I'll have to check my small Canadian Cent stash!
