coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/29/2016 10:15 pm Can you see under the fold over area? If so it may be PSD. But there is could be an issue of die attrition that looks similar to this. But it appears irregular in shape on the flattened edge, so I leaning more to PSD. A up shot of that area would be helpful.

11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 06:26 am Attached a couple more images for diagnostics. Is it possible for the collar to have a large chip in it ? Just a though. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 2:21 pm This is a die attrition error. The edge of the field portion of the die was worn away when a temporarily misaligned obverse (hammer) die smacked repeatedly against the beveled entrance of the collar.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 3:30 pm At what point does a die attrition error have collector value? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 4:29 pm Hard to say. Certainly if peripheral elements are cut off. But I would think that a die attrition error that reaches the outer tips of the peripheral letters (as in this case) would also have value. Error coin writer and researcher.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 9:06 pm Yours is mild attrition: My coin would be medium: Mikes coin is strong attrition: There probably is still stronger ones though. Report this Post to the Staff
