That also helps preserve the die, making it so they can get more life out of the die. Your coin is in a Late Die State (LDS). http://www.error-ref.com/thinning-a...gn-elements/ Errers and Varietys.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/29/2018 6:23 pm It is a combination of a worn die and the way the die was designed that year. The mint soon after changed the design. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
