mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 09/22/2016 1:46 pm Since this form of die wear goes back to 1983 in zinc cents, and since the first single-squeeze experiments didn't take place until 1986, I doubt there's any connection.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 09/22/2016 9:17 pm Thanks Mike. The zinc cents have been notorious for this type of creep. Made me wonder if the coinage made from other compositions showing similar effect might have some kind of common ground. Seems in the early days not to be so common and the dies were put through a lot more in some of though years. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 12:51 pm So True, we should start using our dies less, because soon these coins that have this wear will be destroyed causing the need to make more. I have an Idea. Lets create the Die Conservation Project. Edited by Dustin6 09/23/2016 12:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
