Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 5:46 pm The 'sunburst' lines (sometimes called Starburst) are metal flow lines from an ageing die. The repeated impacts during the minting process cause these lines to develop on the dies and then transfers them to each coin that is struck after they form. This would be a Late Die State (LDS) strike almost to the Very Late Die State (VLDS) strike. The die really should have been retired, was used past the limit of its working life. The doubled rim on the obverse looks like a MisAligned Die strike or MAD. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 5:53 pm A nice example of a misaligned die, it's fairly off but not enough to give the coin any premium. And a late die stage as well. A good educational piece. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 11:03 pm Those I believe are polishing lines you're seeing. No planchet error. Also, you have a slight MAD (Mis Aligned Die) coin, but very slight (no premium, sorry). Report this Post to the Staff
