Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74999 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 2:01 pm That stretching of the initials was caused by heavy Die Deterioration. The die was in a Very Late Die State when it struck your coin. Just a worn die issue. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 07/27/2018 2:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74999 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 2:28 pm You're very welcome and no problem! Nickels are notorious for showing heavy Die Deterioration, by overusing the dies. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

(First time I've seen that) Edited by coop 07/27/2018 3:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
