USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 10:03 am Can't tell. But you're looking in the right spot. Unlike John1, I'll sit back with a cup of coffee and wait for others to reply. Wish there was an emoji for a cup of coffee. :( Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 10:13 am Long answer: this is VLDS, very late die stage. As dies wear out, metal is moved outwards on the die, forcing the details to move as well. With repeated polishings, the face and outside diameter are ground down. This allows die to fit in holder. The depth of devices on the die become shallow, devices become larger, even bust. Even at VLDS, coins are still subjected to MD, note 2 in date. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 11:13 am I agree this die has been polished pretty good. Probably to remove die clash marks. The mid devices meaning back end of liberty, Lincoln's face and neck are showing heavy die polishing. The other devices in liberty are bolder, but can't make out doubling in the current images. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 07/15/2017 11:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 1:29 pm Definitely seeing the Over polished dies as mentioned earlier in this post. Die Deterioration Doubling on the devices will usually run towards the rim, and this one though not as severe as others I have seen, does show some of that especially on the date.
