rainman503 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 12:56 am 1957, that looks like a good one in my opinion. I like that the lettering is crisp and not worn down. Report this Post to the Staff

xinfantry Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 08:38 am John1, I know over use would damage the die's and cause it to create die cracks, but is there any reason as to why so many in the 50's vs other years? Report this Post to the Staff
NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 1:02 pm I can think of 3 possibilities for the increase in die wear and breaks seen on pennies during that era: 1) Something different about the steel alloy used for the dies and the annealing-hardening process that wasn't optimized for the alloy. 2) Use of greater strike pressures to improve coin quality. 3) Poorer quality control at the mints, allowing more of these coins to escape into circulation. Hope someone more knowledgeable can help... we're curious! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 2:12 pm They just over used the dies longer those years. It also happened on other years like 1946 and others, but this was an era thing. They just wanted to use them longer. 1922-D dies were also over used and over polished rather than create more dies.
