Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/17/2018 4:33 pm I found this 1999 D LMC CRH and while I have never seen a column DDR for this year this one is slightly different. I truly think this is from die abrasion and not from over polishing. It is not a plating issue as it cannot be pushed flat. Am I correct in my assumption? Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/17/2018 4:40 pm Die abrasion and over polishing are pretty much the same thing. Your coin looks like a plating issue to me. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/17/2018 4:51 pm They are John1 with some difference. I have to rule out a plating issue as these cannot be pushed down flat. But, you may be right. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 12/17/2018 5:11 pm Die abrasion typically results from the die being polished. Seems similar to roller marks to me. Maybe wrong, but some similar lines seem present in the same direction around the memorials periphery as well. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 12/17/2018 5:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/17/2018 7:12 pm That sounds like a very good explanation. Thank you, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/17/2018 9:32 pm The bays look interesting, but just beyond the die scratches it looks like it extends beyond on the top and the bottom design area. See if the top and the bottom of the Memorial show the die scratches on these areas also? Edited by coop 12/17/2018 9:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 08:22 am @coop, here you go. One pic above and one pic below the affected areas. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 11:37 am Looks like what I though die scratches. If you took the image rotated 90 degrees, the lighting would show the die scratches even stronger. (the light would fall over the scratches, rather than down the die scratches. (but I can still see them on the images provided) Edited by coop 12/18/2018 11:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
