Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74423 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 01:34 am Quarantine, what you have here is called Design Devouring Die Wear, which is a form of Die Deterioration. http://www.error-ref.com/design-dev...ng-die-wear/ Errers and Varietys.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 02:25 am @E&V You really got Design Devouring Die Wear from that one single, blurry pic? I doubt the legitimacy of that term as a separate function, anyway. What I see looks like a grease-filled die on the periphery, excluding LIBERTY (as can be the case with grease-fills), and normal thickness letters on LIBERTY. Here's the pic, by the way: In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
quarinteen New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 1:54 pm Oh cool. Everyone else was thinking it was Struck Through Grease. Thank you!! Would this be worth sending to verify to PCGS or something similar? Edited by quarinteen 09/27/2018 1:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

quarinteen New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 2:02 pm How do you tell the difference between the die wear and grease? They both look very similar to me? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74423 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 2:06 pm Spruett, it's indeed Design Devouring Die Wear and a small Grease Fill. I have also seen this issue very many times as well on the newer Dimes. And no, it's not worth getting graded, as there's no premium for this. I have contacted Mike Diamond (a coin expert), so he can come take a look at it. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 09/27/2018 2:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 2:23 pm Looks like a combination of a Grease Filled Die and die wear to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 4:17 pm Just severe Die Deterioration, very common on newer dimes. The die flow lines through affected areas are a sure sign. If it was a struck through, the die flow would not be visible. Whether or not design devouring die wear is a legitimate term or not, that's technically what this is. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 09/28/2018 9:29 pm Actually, it looks like conventional die wear. Affected design elements don't show the thinning characteristic of design-devouring die wear. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
