coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/22/2008 9:52 pm I can't tell for sure what you have. But it looks like your suffering from dual light. The main light source appear to be coming from 1:00 and a secondary light from 8:00. The secondary light source may be making something that isn't really there? Report this Post to the Staff

The obverse on the other hand needs closer study and a better picture. The thickness of the tail on the 5 and the lower right portion of the 8 could be an indication of a doubled die. I need to see better lighted pictures that are clear of the date and WE TRUST. With those, I can tell you for sure. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/23/2008 1:07 pm The last images show die wear. The die flow toward the rim is now removing the closest edge (Outside edge) of the dies devices. Some may think they are trails, but it isn't Trails only flow one and rarely two directions. If you follow this coin around the rim it all flows toward the rim. Just extreme die wear. But a great example because of the strength of the flow lines. Report this Post to the Staff
