Either way it is not a DAS. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

You can't have a coin with the rim only on one side. When a blank goes through the upsetting mill, it forms a small rim on both sides which is not removed even with a weak strike. When you only see the rim on one side, then you know that it has been removed after the coin was struck. Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 10:52 am Die adjustment strikes will weight exactly what they are supposed to. This coin, though, will weight a little less because so metal was lost due to whatever kind of hard life it had. Report this Post to the Staff
