Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 10:54 am lol that happens. Could be a partially Grease Filled Die, but I don't think that would be correct, seeing how the ME fades into the fields. I think this is a heavy die polishing issue - to hide possible damage to the die. Can you provide a close up of this area? properly cropped if you please. Collecting since 1972.

Wouldn't excessive die polishing bring the field up, rather than the letters down? What tilts the guess away from Grease Filled Die and towards die polishing? Fading on the tops of United States, as well. Also -us unum looks like melted butter. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 11:47 am Well you need to remember that a die is a negative of the coin it strikes. the design elements on a die are incuse (recessed) in the die and the fields are the high points. So polishing the fields will bring down the fields to the level of the devices deep inside the die and will effectively erase them. On of out member (Coop) has great images and teaching tools that describes this very well. let me see if I can find some of his posts. Collecting since 1972.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 1:39 pm Ok, that was a pretty good explanation. So the field metal is higher where the die is heavily polished, but maybe not in a way that's easy to see without a calipers. To the eye, it looks like the lettering, devices are fading into the field. If you polished the entire die heavily, then the whole coin would be slightly thicker, and the raised areas would be less prominent. Does that by definition suggest that all strikes with heavily polished die are going to be weak strikes? Because the planchet thickness is the same, and the die has receded slightly.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 7:42 pm Why are the images different? did you post up another dime using the same file names? if you did, then the images that were here were overwritten.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 7:43 pm Not weak strikes, the strike pressure is the same, just less detail because it got erased. Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 09:01 am @norm, it appears as though you have used the same filename for multiple pictures. When this happens, the new ones overwrite the old ones on all of your threads. Please avoid doing this in the future to avoid confusion. Thx.
