Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 10:54 pm This is definitely in a Very Late Die State. It's pretty common for the 1980's. That little "ridge" thing is from heavy die wear from all of the pounding the die had to do for all of the strikes. This is a normal reaction for Copper plated planchets. Errers and Varietys.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 11:29 pm I agree that it is a plating issue. Die wear may have played a roll, as well. It is quite odd looking!
