coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 11:11 am Die Deterioration issue. The devices are flowing towards the rim. Ridge Ring looks like it happened, but the die polishing removed more of the fields. This can be seen on either sides of the zincolns: Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 12:23 pm Yes, common Die Deterioration. Pretty common on the LMC's from the 1980's. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Ppincher1 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 5:36 pm Is there anyone else here besides myself, that thinks the 1980s were some of the worst craftsmanship for the pennies of all Lincoln cents made in the last 110 years? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 5:48 pm During that time there were a lot of new things changed that were not for the best ideas. Single squeeze dies were started to be used. (in later 80's) These had the lower profile. the crappy planchets (zinc with a thin layer of copper plating) started at that time. The issue with the plating over the zinc dust that caused them to look read bad. At the end of the 1980's the RPMs ended. Supposed thinking then that doubled dies were being phased out. (but later we realized that wasn't happening) People saved less coinage during that time. The Ridge Ring issues with these cents. The multiple die clashes happened on the Zincoln's. Then the over polishing of the dies that removed a lot of the designs at that time. Kind of the "best" of the worst of times for coins then. Reminds me of the last years of the Wheat cents. Just remembered the zinc rot issues and the split plating issues. It is amazing there are cents left till now from that time period. Thus we are still finding them. (and still complaining about them) Edited by coop 07/23/2019 5:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 5:48 pm Ppincher1, yes I think so, in my opinion. Don't forget about the 1950's as well. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
