Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 6:08 pm to the funhouse! What you are seeing is a classic case of Die Deterioration Doubling ( DDD). This happens as die wear down. Metal flows towards the outside edges, stretching the design elements. That is seen by the you and T in TRUST distinctly and the ghosting outline to the right of the date digits.

sosicoin Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 7:48 pm Thanks for the info. Having searched 5M+ of coins is a remarkable experience. I am enjoying this hobby. So, hopefully, I can search at least 25% of your 5M+. I appreciate every comment I can get for experience enhancement. Report this Post to the Staff
sosicoin Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 8:02 pm Hi, Crazyb0. Thanks for the comment. It seems like I can grasp what you are saying. My question is, did the DDD develop due to circulation/usage of the coin or the DDD was a precursor from DD? How about the ghosting of the date? Was the ghosting cause by circulation/usage? Too, can I ask what the B is on top of your dome? Hope you won't mind me asking. Report this Post to the Staff
