gunbarrelcoins New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 12:34 am I think it is a re-punched date. My example is BU and I can clearly see polish lines through the old date. On my coin there is also a die clash under Abe's chin. There may be some slight die deterioration-doubling along the top of Abe's head, but the date looks like it was re-punched. Just my opinion.

Second, from the colouration/shininess of your coin, it appears to be replated, but let's discuss it in your own thread. Perhaps a moderator would be nice enough to move it for you.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/01/2020 7:54 pm Extreme die wear. Consider the planchets. There were steel instead of copper. They caused extreme wear on the dies that the copper planchets didn't. So they wear a lot faster: Report this Post to the Staff
gunbarrelcoins New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 10/02/2020 12:05 am Thanks for the reply and images Coop! It really helps explain things. After digging around I found your videos earlier this evening. I like coins that aren't perfect, they have better stories. Between the plating, deterioration, clashes and crack this one has a lot to talk about. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 1:19 pm I'm more of a cent variety collector. Die event coins, and damaged ones to me go back into circulation. My Motto: "Save the best, spend the rest.") Report this Post to the Staff
