cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 7:50 pm Yes it has much corrosion but raised metal from the I in United to the last T in States that is not attached to the lettering at all. I also noticed it is in the close vicinity of the gas bubble with approximately the same length. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 9:04 pm that is split plating compounded by a Ridge Ring struck by a worn out die. Collecting since 1972.

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 9:51 pm Ridge Ring is something I did not see before but the fields are normal between the letters. the raised metal only occurs above each letter, dot above I slash above T, slash above E and so on. I would think that if the edge was wore out it would effect the whole edge. There is no sliding or doubling on any part of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
