jdbooth Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 11:58 am I was separating my LD/SD 74's and noticed odd hash marks at the rim. Did the die hit a coin that failed to be ejected? I am not sure of the correct terminology. I look forward to learning what this is.

jdbooth Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 12:11 pm Thanks Coppercoins. I appreciate the quick response. So is this considered a die variety? John Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/03/2008 7:28 pm In order for a coin to be a die variety, every coin struck with that die would have the same mark on it. As the gouge happened later in the dies life, it is not a variety. Just a gouge. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/04/2008 06:57 am That explanation is very unclear. A die variety is doubling to some effect that happens during the creation of the die prior to its first use. Every coin minted with the die shows the same doubling because it is a part of the design the die started with. Anything else is not a die variety, including die gouges. Report this Post to the Staff
