PamG Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 9:32 pm Thank you, dearborn. I will be researching die dents on error-ref.com. Been really really trying to learn. Anything that appears abnormal that I cannot find on that site, I ask here. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/07/2023 10:42 am Why do coins have raised devices? Because the die has voids of the design below the surface of the die. Thus the coin when struck will have raised devices where the dies are showing a void of the design. Why do fields have raised areas? Because of the dies, the outside part of the die is the fields. Thus when they polish the dies, the fields are altered. If there is a scratch/dents/cracks/gouges/chip on the fields, it will show up as a raised area on the fields. Note on this coin the area could be one of the things mentioned, but is not as deep as the devices, as they are taller on the coin. So something lightly affected the fields on that area. Incuse marks on a coin are damage to the coin. Incuse marks on a die, will show as raised areas on the coins struck with that die. Report this Post to the Staff
Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 03/08/2023 1:14 pm I have a 1963 DDO FS-101 and I've always liked it because the extra point of the "3" is visible. This image is from VarietyVista. Unfortunately, the point doesn't quite line up with yours. Have to agree with others, just die chips Report this Post to the Staff
