Hinterlander New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 11:55 pm Wondering if anyone can tell me what is going on with this quarter? The "ridge" seen in the photos is raised above the field areas nearer to the rim. It partially obscures the lettering from the "E" in United all the way to the "M" in America. My first thought was that it was grease in the letters, but the entire area is raised. It even affects areas of the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95322 Posts	Posted 03/24/2023 08:38 am Only thing I can come up with is a worn out die too. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/24/2023 9:27 pm It looks like a Struck Through Grease issue. UNITED looks like an extreme die issue. But not a doubled die. DDO / DDRs are on the central areas of these designs. (Not on the outer edges of devices) Report this Post to the Staff
Hinterlander New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 12:58 am Coop, if it was Struck Through Grease the lettering would be filled in. The issue with this coin is that the fields around the letters are raised up. I'm going with severe Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
Hinterlander New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 3:44 pm Well after hearing the term " Ridge Ring", I did a little more sleuthing and actually found a photo of this exact coin listed on Error-ref.com! They have it categorized as a "Soft Die Error". Thanks again for all of your input on this. Report this Post to the Staff
