Ross Son Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 12/30/2016 6:32 pm I came across this LMC and I don't know where to even begin. I see gas bubbles, die cracks, doubling,.....Seems like they decided to put everything that can wrong into one coin. If it is Die Deterioration, it is hard to think that they let the die strike coins in this condition. If it is damage, how was it even done? Report this Post to the Staff

Worn and partly filled die, with post mint crushing is a vise or similar. Some minor corrosion as well, along with an honest amount of circulation wear. I really feel sorry for that poor coin.

Also the die chips left on the rim and date seems to extreme Report this Post to the Staff

Then the centers look kind of sunken in and a lip forms on the edges of the devices. In the beginning stages it gets mistaken for doubling a lot of times Edited by Slamnbass 12/30/2016 7:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
