On the die that struck your coin it looks like it was over polished a lot and removed most the extra pillars and almost the statue. This happens after a lot of clashes and clash removals are performed. Report this Post to the Staff

rainman503 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 04/29/2016 01:39 am I guess my question is why the gap between what I am calling the "extra pillar" and the section where the standard design is? Edited by rainman503 04/29/2016 01:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/29/2016 1:01 pm I hope this answers your question. Note on my gray colored image and also on your coin, there are areas where there is weakness on the simulated columns. That is from heavy die polishing removing part of the fields, (bays are part of the fields) affected the mid devices (simulated columns) to remove die clashes. A lot of detail can be lost each time a die is polished down. So die clashes must happen a lot during the life span of 1,400,000 average coins struck per die on business strike coins.
