It really wouldn't make sense though considering the millions of coins they stamp for each year. I have those 3 years all showing me the same "something" on the bottom left of the 1st column.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 3:17 pm Actually that is from isolated die abrasion or die damage. (not terms for the same event, two different possibilities) It may have been polished to hard on the fields (yes the bays are part of the fields) or the die received some damage on the bay. Perhaps something was dropped on it and hit that area. Note how it balloons out? That would probably be from something being dropped on the die hitting that area. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 7:54 pm I just wasn't sure what it was - so many of the DDR's have these types of marks and yet when I looked them up on Wexlers they were all around ABE basically - so then that is why I posted my question. They looked pretty similar and basically in the same location - so confusion set in for me and now you all have helped me to better understand the situation. Thanks a bunch - it is always great for me to learn new things about the coin making process. Report this Post to the Staff
