Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/19/2017 11:35 pm I'm seeing this as an extremely worn die. It could be die flow lines on the fields that you're seeing as a lamination? Report this Post to the Staff
Newbie38 Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 05/19/2017 11:40 pm I found the reverse the most interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/20/2017 12:00 am At first sight, I was also thinking worn die and flow lines. My vote's for Die Deterioration.

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/20/2017 12:47 am Die Deterioration occurs over the life of a die. Your coin was struck towards the end of the dies' life. It's not considered an error or variety. While it's interesting, it does not add a premium to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/20/2017 12:49 am No, Die Deterioration is not rare. It is common place as the dies the mint uses wear down from the outward flow of metal as coins are struck. Edit: Jinx!
