coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/27/2018 12:24 pm The reason it will not be listed in the RPM files is that it isn't a RPM. It is from die wear. How can you identify die wear. On the sides of the devices that face the rim, the die flows in that direction as the die ages. Because of the steel planchets and steel dies, it was just a matter of time for these dies to wear out quicker. 1943 Plain cents showing die wear: 1943-D Cents showing die wear: 1943-S Cents showing die wear: So when you look at the dates the 43 shows a SE heavy die flow issue and die wear. On the mint marks, you see the same issue from die wear on the mint marks. Just a fact of life. As the die ages, die flow and die wear happens next. About 50% of the later die state coins look like this. CoopHome : 1943 cents extreme die wear Edited by coop 10/27/2018 12:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
