Bogiesmokes Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 06/25/2021 1:54 pm I've seen similar 1984 nickels posted when I searched through past posts, but none as extreme as this...is this just mad DDD I suppose, maybe with some MD? One thread mentioned 'Stutter Strike' but I don't think it's that from what I've researched. Report this Post to the Staff

Bogiesmokes Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 06/25/2021 3:31 pm Lol. Merci, Merclover, and thanks dbrablec...so older coins being used in gumball/casino machines, in pockets, run over by a car or two, etc, can lead to the letters/numbers meshing with the edge per say? (not the best description, but just clarifying for future reference). Report this Post to the Staff
Altec12 Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 06/25/2021 4:35 pm Well not exactly. Die deteriation refers to the state the actual die is in when it mints the coin. The longer the die is used the less the definition is transfered to the coin. When a die is fresh and just put into use the images will be precise and crisp. Thousands of coins later the images will not only loose their crispness but the devices/images will begin to become somewhat distorted. This all happens at the mint. What I think you were refering to in your last post would be considered wear and tear, normal circulation damage that happens well after it leaves the mint. Hope this helps.
