Titles are Important! * I found this 5 cent coin that has been in my collection since 1971 of a 1966 Thomas Jefferson Filled in die, where the Pony Tail is almost gone. Is there any value in it?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73946 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 4:48 pm This was caused by an over polished die. They were trying to get rid of a Die Clash, so they were polishing off the die. Polishing the die also extends the life of the die as well.

Those found today CRHing are beat to heck. Edited by Crazyb0 08/24/2018 6:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 9:11 pm @PTP, it is also interesting that parts of Jefferson't ponytail are missing. This might be due to some grease in the die during the striking process causing not all details to be fully struck up.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 9:16 pm Actually it is not a filled in tie. If it were a Struck Through Grease issue, then the highest devices would be flat and widened. Not the devices are just the opposite. They are thinned. How could that happen. All raised devices are tapered. Wider at the bottoms on the coin thinner at the tops of the coin. So the die is a negative. So if the fields were reduced and it removed part of the mid devices, then height of the devices would be reduced just like on this coin. Why are the devices tapered? So the coins will fall off the die. If they were just the opposite, the first coin would be stuck into the die on the first strike. Hope this helps.
