Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/12/2017 9:30 pm Yep! The raising around rim is because is weakest part(area) of die after millions of hits and those devices begin to lose material which forces its way outwards on the die pairs. That last actually came from Chuck Daughtry, of Copper coins. Had sent him an email in 2013, after reading "Looking through Lincoln Cents" had a 1918S where the entire motto was stretched to the rim, back when I began my RPM chasing!

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 12:02 am Potbelly, I was able to guess the year before seeing it on screen! I've come across a lot of 1987s that look like that in my recent batch. crazyb0, you should be able to change the resolution settings so things appear normal again. If you're running windows, you should be able to right click the desktop and get into display options, or just search for that from the start menu. Report this Post to the Staff
Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 12:10 am I've had several myself druu but that one was a little more extreme than the others I had found on the 86 and 87s. I saw some that the letters were half buried but that was the first for me with the letters nearly gone . Report this Post to the Staff
