CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 3:35 pm Excellent, right on the money. You are hooked. Looks like the clash at throat [weak]. Not sure why they didn't mention that crack/line connecting the 1 & 9. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5775 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 11:27 pm Nice find and attribution. As far as the stage, it looks like there is a die clash at the throat and no chip in the outer left wheat edge matching VV images. So I would venture that yours is a stage B Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 10:02 am It is a later stage 'B' example heading towards the 'C' grade. The weakening the die scratches tell me the again signs. Did you note that the die scratches were fading on the different die stages? That is the clue. but the reason it lasted so long on this die is the placement of the die scratches. With the die scratches on the open fields, they will fade away faster. Near a device, they last a lot longer. Inside of a device, then they last the longest. That is the nature of how the die scratches fade. How can I prove this? Note how in the center of the mintmark, the die scratches are only seen there? (making it look like it was a RPM) But it is not a listed example. Then I rotated the coin and then noticed that it was only a die scratch. With the protection of the location, the die scratch lasted longer.
