Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 01/08/2021 9:33 pm @ikuna, do you mean those radiating striations? I think those are from being struck by a tired die.

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 01/08/2021 9:38 pm Yes - AKA metal flow lines. Most obvious when the die is worn. Edited by Rothery 01/08/2021 9:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 489 Posts	Posted 01/08/2021 9:38 pm I mean the extension of the lines on the wing. I have darkened this one. Look by the wings heading up to "of". Looks like extending plumage. Report this Post to the Staff

ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 489 Posts	Posted 01/08/2021 10:02 pm I saw the die chip. It's about 2. Report this Post to the Staff
Badger Mint Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 01/09/2021 10:45 am If you mean how the wing tips extend onto and over the letters, that is normal and part of the design. Report this Post to the Staff
ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 489 Posts	Posted 01/09/2021 5:50 pm Comparison to highlight the die crack and chip. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/09/2021 7:24 pm The die is definitely aging on your coin, the flow lines are quite heavy, as well as the softening of the devices. Die chips and cracks are usually a consequence of Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
