CRHunting Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 11:16 am Hey Everyone! I just found this coin recently and while checking for DDOs I noticed some odd die gouges. Nothing too crazy but they were bold enough and with an interesting enough placement that I thought it was worth sharing. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 1:32 pm Those are die dents. One die was dropped onto another die, altering the die face. (fields) Thus they are die events, but interesting, but not much of a premium for these. Probably all the dents happened at the same time. The double line dent: Note that there are two of them on that area? That is because of the die face and gutter hitting that area: So those two edges from another die, damaged this die with an incuse mark into the die, leaving a raised area on the coins struck with that die. The lower die dent was probably a roll over event of the same drop. So that is how all three of the die dents could of happen on a single die drop event. CoopHome: How do dies dents happen? Drop and tumble of a drooped die event. (Mis handled dies) Edited by coop 04/03/2023 1:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
