SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 03/28/2020 12:44 pm Maybe I'm seeing things, but it looks like there might also be a faint die clash on the obverse fields? Perhaps the "debris" on the reverse could be abrasion from trying to polish out a die clash? Very interested to see what others say!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/28/2020 1:21 pm If it were a rusty die issue, the marks would be incuse. This looks like on the coin that it is raised. So it would have to be die damage making incuse marks on the die. If it were grease with grit, it also would be incuse marks on the coin. The images shows raised areas on the fields.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 03/28/2020 1:35 pm @coop, do you see a faint memorial on the fields of the obverse? It looks like it to me, but I don't really trust my own judgement on these things. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 03/28/2020 2:27 pm Not true coop. I have a cent that was struck with a rusty die and the marks are not incuse. As the die rusts it becomes pitted, when a coin is struck with that die the marks are not incuse. Edited by Jim0815 03/28/2020 2:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
