coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 1:35 pm You might wonder how it is raised, how is it a die issue? The coins are positives. The dies are negatives. So if the coin is showing a raised area, the die would be showing an incuse area. So on the fields of the coin the die is sinking on that area. Is is subsiding. This even affects the devices on the die showing shallow devices on the coin in the centers of those affected devices. But these are mostly seen on cents. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 5:07 pm coop, any idea why this is so common on zinc cents? It seems like a softer metal like zinc would be easier on the dies. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 5:46 pm As others have said, Ridge Ring. No added value sadly. @lcutler I think just from using the dies longer in those years than they should have to save money Edited by SamCoin 02/08/2022 5:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/08/2022 9:55 pm Not sure. Seems like more often happening on the later 1980's and 90's cents. Report this Post to the Staff
