-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8777 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 08:26 am Here are a couple of die dents I found a few years ago. I know mine are in a slightly different location and shape but were from a 68P and 68D. Maybe a problem they had that year. Maybe a mint worker had the dropsies. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 02/17/2022 08:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 11:22 am What causes a die dent? It happens with one die is dropped on another die. The outside edges of the die dented with an incuse mark. The incuse mark on the die, shows up as a raised area on the coins. Here is an image of one that I feel was dropped on the floor, flattening one edge of the die, making it look like it was a Cud, but doesn't make the rim higher like a Cud: CoopHome: What is a die dent?
