Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74090 Posts	Posted 01/23/2024 9:20 pm The letters are thin from Die Deterioration and possibly from die polishing. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8748 Posts	Posted 01/24/2024 6:21 pm I was not discrediting what E&V said, I actually agree. The obverse rim just looked underdeveloped. As E&V said, definitely deterioration, as you can see ghosting on both sides, which I don't think I've ever seen this strong on a zincoln.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/24/2024 7:50 pm The devices would be bigger with die polishing. You have to think backwards. Devices are incused on the die. Polishing would take off more metal from the die. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 01/25/2024 10:53 am Contra Cujohn, letters will be thinned and shrunken from intentional die abrasion. However, in this case, the thinned and shrunken letters of LIBERTY are the result of "design-devouring die wear". In this form of die wear, the field portion of the die retreats as far as the lowest points of the die's recesses. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
