The OP's coin was clearly not Struck Through Grease, which wouldn't cause the widening of the letters and numbers. |

So, what's your explanation for it?

I gave my explanation about 15 posts ago. It's not a mint error.

Unfortunately, your explanation is not based on Facts (everyone has the right to their own opinion, but not their own facts)

That's why I prefaced my explanation by saying it was my guess. On the other hand, it's a fact that a coin Struck Through Grease will not have widening of the devices. |

An Opinion means: "I think..."; "I know..." is an Avowance

There are an infinite amount if ways that a coin can get damaged outside of the mint, but only a finite number of ways that coins have been minted improperly. the expectation that one of us pinpoint the exact source of damage is frankly a little ridiculous. When I and many others look at a coin to diagnose it, we dont diagnose that it is damage(unless its a very common case like a Dryer Coin), we diagnose that it is not an error, and therefore deduce that it's damaged because there is no other explanation.

Rothery, the devices will appear to be wider, but they will not actually be wider. the devices at their widest point on a normal coin are still not nearly as wide as they are on this coin. In the images provided with the text, you will see the widening is only to the extent of the thickness of the base of the devices

Probably because that you're not aware other, realitic explanation exists |
