Yorkish Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 09:17 am Back for some more assistance. Found this on a run through my "needs a second look" pile. The outside of the 3 in the date has what looks like weak hubbed doubling, but my gut tells me it is Die Deterioration. There also appears to be a small spread on some of the letters of IGWT (especially the R in TRUST). Help a brother out? What do you all think? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19213 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 09:40 am I'm thinking classic Die Deterioration doubling--shows very well on late die state wheat cents--especially from the 50s. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2021 12:35 pm Die wear moving towards the rim. 54% of the dies breakdown to look like this when the dies reach VLDS. (Very-Late-Die-State) Report this Post to the Staff
