Budman2K New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 04/18/2009 02:13 am Is this an example of Die Deterioration? I was going through a roll of 1955p cents and found 6 that are like this. Thanks in advance. Edited by Budman2K 04/18/2009 4:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

This is taking forever to load, and I have DSL. I don't see Die Deterioration. The coin is LDS, but that doesn't necessarily spell deterioration. There are some die flow issues here and there. Are you talking about the doubling on the tops of the letters. That's on ALL 1955 cents. It helps when you describe what you are asking about instead of using 'this' - sometimes we have to guess at what you are calling 'this'. Report this Post to the Staff
Budman2K New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 04/18/2009 4:55 pm Thanks for your response. I re-sized the images and put markers in the photos of the areas in question. The reason I posted the question was because the other 44 cents in the roll did not have this. I was unaware that ALL 1955 cents have this. Report this Post to the Staff
