Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 8:06 pm @eu, that column on the reverse does look kinda squiggly. However, rather than being a mint error, it is damage that occurred after the coin was struck.

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 9:52 pm Spence I don't think he is just referring to the PMD squiggly column... He is also talking about the "bulge" in the 1st 2-3 columns and above the roof line on the left... It is not a clash... but a dent in die? Not sure what to call it...

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 3:28 pm Recurring die subsistence error. Basically I feel the dies were not tempered correctly and this happened on several dies that year. Who ever must have messed up then, didn't let it happen again. (Well until the next century) 2014 Die creep: But just one die was affected this time. Report this Post to the Staff
