Are the lines on this penny what the various error/variety sites talk about when they refer to die markers? Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/02/2018 8:37 pm Read coop's explanation of die markers here: http://goccf.com/t/256460 I think brush marks could be used as a die marker but it wouldn't be the most reliable marker since I think it would wear away and it wouldn't even appear on the earliest die states of a particular variety. Anyway, coop has written a great explanation. Report this Post to the Staff

These flatten with time, but remain stronger next to devices. Not really an error as they use this method all the time. Edited by coop 03/02/2018 8:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
