Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 6:27 pm That's massive Die Deterioration (die wear) from the die being worn. It's part of normal wear and tear on the die from overuse. There's no added premium to this. Worth face value, but you can keep it if you'd like for educational purposes. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/ Errers and Varietys.

Waynoah83 Pillar of the Community 586 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 11:33 pm I thought this was called a misaligned die strike because it doesn't affect both sides. The obverse die was off a little bit when the strike occurred. I could be wrong though. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 11:50 pm I sent Mike a note on this one. To me it looks like a MAD, but the issue with it on the rim? Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 07:40 am There's no misalignment, only a " Ridge Ring" caused by die wear. Very common in zinc cents. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

Waynoah83 Pillar of the Community 586 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 01:24 am I stand corrected. Good call EV. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 06/24/2018 8:00 pm Pretty cool looking, I have found many. But good to keep for reference and it's still in decent shape. Most of the ones I found were from the 80's Edited by CoinCents 06/24/2018 8:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 06/24/2018 8:04 pm The 1980's were the best year for severe die wear ( Die Deterioration) on Copper plated Zinc cents. The U.S.Mont were notorious for overworking the dies. I've found severe Die Deterioration (die wear) on a 1982 Zinc Lincoln Cent two days ago. http://goccf.com/t/322204 Errers and Varietys.
