Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 2:33 pm I don't know what this is. I notice that the incuse bars go into the rim. The possibilities I have thought of are: Die wear. Partial Dropped Letter Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 3:01 pm Die deterioration. It seems to like to fall behind devices. Why? Not sure. Seems to happen more on the single squeeze die with the lower profile. So it maybe just the way the die ages? Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 3:22 pm Coop - thanks. I notice that in your images, it stops at the rim and in my coin it goes into the rim. Does that just mean this is a more severe example? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 4:56 pm Mike Diamond mentioned something like that, but it was a lot stronger: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=rim Report this Post to the Staff
SlyCynic Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 6:54 pm Yeah, but I think the OP said the bars were incuse... with Mike's error the areas were raised. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 07:12 am Now I am confused about this. Is there another example, *antwhere*, where die flow lines go into the rim and leave this kind of indentation in the rim? I guess that I am not convinced that these rim indentions are a continuation of die flow lines? Report this Post to the Staff
