In the Motto is really were I see the differences and only very slight differences on the Liberty & Date. What do you all think? thank you for your time :) Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 11:32 am When a die is polished, it reduces the fields. When this happens the devices on the die look smaller. So you have an example from a normal die and one that was polished and the devices were reduced. Both are from normal dies. Neither are a doubled die. Sorry With the field reduced, the devices appear smaller because of the reduction of the field of the die. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 2:05 pm Thanks coop, I was actually wondering about that because like I said it looked different but not really doubled and couldn't figure out why. This is the first LC I have found where so many of the devices in the motto were polished down like that. Great learning for me. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 2:51 pm It happens a lot: Clash area.polish removes the '1' in the date: Often seen on later dies states (many polishings happen before then) Now deeper devices are being affected: Outside edge abrasion polishing: Even Fields can be unevenly reduced, making a lower area on the coins struck: Report this Post to the Staff
