I am not a photographer... I hope my pics are good enough.... I apologize for the string one on of the images... any thoughts? I really appreciate your help Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/19/2016 4:08 pm On Die Deterioration the devices flow towards the closest rim. On the date to the right side, LIBERTY to the left side and motto on the tops of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
marymanard Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 08/19/2016 4:53 pm ok, so I get what your saying. and that makes sense for the 4 and the 9s... but I just want to make sure we are looking at the same thing for the S..... the extra S I have arrowed, and drawn. those are the same Die Deterioration?..?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/19/2016 10:53 pm Above the "T" there is a split plating issue. The strike was so strong it broke through the plating leaving the zinc exposed. That may also be an issue with the lower loop of the 'S' as well. I see gray there also. Report this Post to the Staff
sonchild Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 12:03 am There does appear to be some doubling, but that's from the old die and loose pieces that may have allowed the die to rotate a little in between strikes. You can tell it's definitely not a doubled die because doubled die errors have rounded peaks, whereas varieties and mint damage have more shelf like, flat tops. Report this Post to the Staff
