uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 01/11/2024 10:09 pm I found almost all the coins in one roll have the same type of wear on the die , these pictures are of only 3 of them ,even some have on the obverse going around the face of Lincoln but not the outer devices. * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73688 Posts	Posted 01/11/2024 11:08 pm Pretty interesting! To me, it looks like extreme Die Deterioration. I wonder if Mike Diamond would be interested in looking at this? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 01/12/2024 07:52 am Where did you find this coin? Was it in a set? I can see some hits on a few of the columns. But, yes, the die was very worn when it struck this coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
