coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2021 10:57 am What you are looking at above the letters on the motto and the rim, is die wear. On the older dies when the dies would show wear, the devices moved towards the rim. So that in that VLDS die state it could have them moved into the rim: On the new dies because of the lower profile, when they wear, the devices are not affected like the older style dies, but the fields are affected. Thus the term used for these is DDD, Die Deterioration Doubling. So note directions of this. Date to the right, Liberty to the left and Motto's will be affected on the tops of the devices? Why? Because of the extreme die wear this caused by the constant movement of metal to shape the design and move the metal to fill the collar. Thus it is a common event and not a premium for the coin. The ones I find more collectable are the earlier die states, before the breakdown appears. They have a much nicer look. (And just a few strikes, and then the die wear starts to happen) Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 08:01 am Yep, I'll agree with DDD - notice how the movement of the metal moves towards the rim... Collecting since 1972.
