spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 12:25 am @Crazyb0 I think the term you're looking for is "die attrition." It's when the hammer die strikes the collar repeatedly and the die is worn away. This example looks to be that. In my thinking, a MAD left long enough will create die attrition.

uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 01:17 am thanks,after reading the definition of die attrition I think that spruett001 you're right, and it mainly happened on 1983 cents. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 11:29 pm Have you tried a toothpick on it on that area? Sometimes there is a clear grease that looks like that on cents. that would be the first thing I would check for? Report this Post to the Staff
