It's the normal wear and tear process of the die. Here's a thread that I made for starters. It's about Die Deterioration. http://goccf.com/t/317950 Errers and Varietys.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 7:37 pm The die was in the VLDS state when your coin was struck. No premium, but an education piece on what to expect to see on a die almost ready to retire.About 75% of them are struck during the LDS/VLDS die states. The earlier die states are only 25% of the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
