If this is an error maybe someone knows what error could it be? will be glad to hear your opinions, thank you Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21626 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 4:25 pm The word "AMERICA" is Die Deterioration, not an error. Edited by JimmyD 02/15/2022 4:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8777 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 4:35 pm See if this helps, https://www.traildies.com/master-dies-with-trails/ . What you are seeing on "AMERICA" Is a master trail die. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97039 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 6:05 pm as regards to 'states of' they look flattened to me America is 'smeared' towards the rim indicating a deteriorating die Collecting since 1972.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8777 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 7:35 pm Guys, I have shown this on a few different threads and seem to get the same response. If the link does not help, maybe the pic with both will. There is a lot going on with this coin, of which everybody is correct but I think the OP is referring to the obvious master trail die. I did not put pointers on the OP's pic, did not think it necessary. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8777 Posts	Posted 02/16/2022 9:39 pm Yeah, this is how I remembered it before too, no replies.... Numbnutz. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 02/16/2022 9:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 12:14 am @Makecents, I think you discuss about two complete different coins. The OP coin is from complete different die. And anyways the traildies are not errors. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8777 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 12:53 am silviosi, please read, this trail is from a MASTER DIE. And who said error, besides you and the OP. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 01:03 am Make I say the trails are not considered errors to the OP to know. For the master die I do not say nothing because I just spend the time for nothing. the name is done do not matter. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 11:28 am The raised area on your reverse is part of Ridge Ring. Often seen on obverse of cents from that same era. Tails distort from corners of the die in a straight line: Report this Post to the Staff
