coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 3:18 pm The die is showing extreme die wear and not the edges of that device are touching the rim. I've seen this before. Not a premium coin, just a coin that was struck by a die that should have been retired. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 3:57 pm Thanks. I think it is curious that the effects are "isolated". By that I mean that UNUM is affected and not EPLURIBUS to the same degree. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 4:11 pm Is your coin rotated on the reverse a bit? That area is where the most pressure and metal movement is going on with the obverse side of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

However the rotation is clockwise, which places UNUM even further beneath the date on the other side and away from the bust. I am noticing the bowl shape around part of the rim. I guess that is the deterioration showing. Report this Post to the Staff
