J4337 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 7:22 pm Hello, I recently purchased a BU roll of 1956p cents from a local coin dealer. It was an unopened wrapper from a local bank that's still in business today. I opened them up and was surprised to see so many of the reverse side has what appears to be additional stamping. Please take a look and tell me what you think. I took pics of all images with and without flash, then removed the nice or nicer looking ones to photograph the ones that had the harder imprints. Is there a way to clean the toning off of one to get a better idea of the stamp that is imprinted without ruining it? Thanks in advance!! Report this Post to the Staff

SjlundCoin Pillar of the Community United States 534 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 8:48 pm Think you are seeing what is called PIDT (Progressive Indirect Design Transfer) AKA "Ghosting". This is common on LDS coins. The die strikes so many coins that the design is transferred from one die to the other. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 9:13 pm I just see some crazy toning patches going on in that roll . was the paper wrapping clinched and tightly wrapped , or was the roll rather loosely wrapped ? How are the obverse's of this roll, new and bright , red and brown, or spotty ? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2016 10:15 pm That are very distracting and lower the grade of the coins. They are sometimes referred to as spider webs. A bummer to find in a roll. Report this Post to the Staff

I am pretty much an amateur so wait for a second opinion from someone with more experience. Report this Post to the Staff
