Meow, you're not supposed to chew on your coins to clean them, it might make you sick!  Interesting MD on the face, really a heavy bounce there, good example. The reverse of dime shows VLDS Die flow lines radiating outwards and a parking lot coin, well, sure it didn't spend some time in that Lava flow? |

The coin posted is damaged PSD. But die flow lines: http://goccf.com/t/283113Just a metal wear when something is repeated over and over. The metal is moved around on the die moving it hundreds of thousands of times. Creates die wear lines on the fields and the devices. |

This is what I wrote the other nite for the same question by another member: Quote:
..., what happens to a nail head the more you hammer it? It spreads out. If you were to look at that head with a scope, you'd see a cross-hatch design like ######. Hammering will spread things out, right? Well, this is somewhat what happens to the dies after multiple hammerings together (hence we call them HAMMER and ANVIL dies). The details on that nail will stretch out, as the metal becomes smashed time and again....same as the dies, it stretches. It is a solid material, what happens to solids when pulled? It tears and rips apart. Now, think microscopically, the die metal is moving, by microns...something's gonna give eventually. Then we get cracks, splits on the inside depth of a device(like the R), the metal "deteriorates" off the weakened edges of the devices, particularly with metal flow towards the rim. |

First coin is a really nice example of Machine Doubling. Second coin displays heavy Die Deterioration (die wear), caused by worn out die. Third coin shows Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Here's what severe Die Deterioration looks like.  Errers and Varietys.

Wow, there is so much for a Cat to learn about collecting coins. The stretched out features in the dime are so much more extreme that the examples shown. Meow thought it was a die clash. Meow thinks the mint needs to have more pride in what they make. Meow remembers living in Japan for while, and all their coinage was so much more uniform. All the rims of the coins where identical. And they stacked perfectly, unlike US coins that wobble when stacked. |

MeowtheKitty, I was wondering if you can show full pictures of the 1990 Dime. I want to see how bad the Die Deterioration was. I'll show you what mine looked like, with full pictures. Mine was pretty bad though (it's actually the worst case of Die Deterioration that I've ever seen).  uploaded/Errers and Varietys/20180624_IMG_20180624_001509-ccfopt.jpg[/img     Errers and Varietys.

Overall the dime is not that bad at all. Its just in that one spot, the leaves seem to be stretched out really far. Meow has also found some less that purrrfect nickels today    |

Very nice Meowthekitty! Thank you for posting those pictures! Both coins shown (the Dime and the Nickel) are a good example of Die Deterioration. You also have a nice Die Chip in the "O" in "Monticello".  Errers and Varietys.

Yea, that's about all Meow can find CRH. Been CRH a few hours everyday for a month, and yet no diamonds. Only a cheap opal or two once in a while.
Can you imagine what a dime would look like if all of the coin was like that? Its soooo bad in the one spot, yet the rest of the dime seems ok.
