Dearborn Moderator United States 100987 Posts	Posted 11/16/2022 6:35 pm yep, a very tired die was used to create this coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/16/2022 7:47 pm Very Late Die State. When the run ended for this die, it would be retired. When they get this back, they are done: Note how you can tell the extreme die wear. Note the devices are wider on the devices facing the rims. Thinner on the other ends of the same devices. (Closer to the center) Thus that is what extreme die wear looks like. Edited by coop 11/16/2022 7:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
