coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/17/2016 1:58 pm I like that term a lot better. But it is so common on the cent dies, it does not make them worth a premium. I'll have to fix up a teaching aid with that term. (funny that was something I always had in the back of my mind. That the die was not firm enough to take the abuse of striking so many coins) Edited by coop 09/17/2016 3:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
