Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 08:44 am @ker, it looks to me like some of that is due to the coin being struck by a tired die as you noted. Some may be circulation flattening too.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8781 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 08:57 am Looks like a combination of deterioration and Machine Doubling. Either "slide" or "push", MD.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 1:19 pm The first clue? Note on the date area. See the striation lines? These are caused by die movement post strike. So it is Machine Doubling when you see those striation lines on the devices. These are used in forensics to Identify the edges of knives. So the metal to metal contact and slide creates these lines on an altered device on coins. That is what we are seeing on the date area on your coin. Just a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
