RCarv Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 4:51 pm Good evening all,, it's been a bit since my last post. Sooo, for the love of dear baby Jesus don't say PMD or MD or Die Derteraition bc it's not lol.. Check this thing out! Double ear, double Eye below eye, double Grin double bow tie, and doubling on some facial hair I think.. all doubling is focused on the center of coin.. I know the letters on obverse look suspicious, but they scope normal.. Edited by RCarv 05/21/2021 10:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 4:59 pm Honestly it looks pretty normal to me. Definitely some Die Deterioration and some plating issues, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 6:19 pm I agree, nothing unusual looking to me either, sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
RCarv Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 7:08 pm I know it looks like a contact but it really is not.. I will post some better pics.. Maybe some angles where you think it's a hit but when you scope in its not... Report this Post to the Staff
RCarv Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 7:11 pm Most definitely not plating issues.. cent is not struck thru and it doesn't have the common plating bubbles you see in the 80s.. As for Die Deterioration.. that's like 90% "being over dramtic" of pennies but it does not exhibit Machine Die under scope.. All Leters look like good strikes..

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 7:11 pm A couple of spots of coin contact. Die polishing weakened the bow tie. Can tell for sure on the ear, but it might be a die crack? Just not seeing enough of the NW part of Abes head. Report this Post to the Staff
RCarv Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 7:16 pm And where it looks like Die being over polish is actually micro scratches from something else, But that's the only marks.. no heaven hits anywhere Report this Post to the Staff
RCarv Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 7:23 pm Sorry, Tried to revert image back to full head shot and it just doubled what I already had . even tho it reverted in my gallery.. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 7:29 pm It's weak from die polishing to remove a clash. it happens a lot on that area. The date is a target area for a clash: The effort to remove a clash line will affect the bottom area of the die. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96800 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 10:14 pm If you try to change the image, you need to give it a new file name. You see when you upload a picture, it saves the pic in a data base you you to use later. When you just change the image but not the name, the data base will use the file it already had on file not the new changed file. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
