CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 2:54 pm Found this hunting some change today. This is recurring die subsidence, aka a sunken die. Not the most amazing find but my first example of this anomaly, so it's a keeper. These can get pretty severe on 1973-D cents. This is probably a MDS-LDS example. Thanks for taking a. Look! -CH27 Read about this here: http://www.error-ref.com/recurring-...dence-error/ Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 05/05/2020 8:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 9:33 pm I've found one or two of these and thought they were just polished out die clashes. What actually causes it? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/05/2020 11:10 pm Some deformation of the die. A "sunken die". I'm not sure of what exactly causes it, but I know it is a deformation of some kind. I have also read that a soft die also contributes to this anomaly. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
