Outlawking702 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 11/10/2024 04:44 am T Great info, I really like the name, Design Devouring Die Wear sounds ominous, like the super villain of coin collecting. But seriously I read the article and was wondering how you can tell the difference in Ridge Ring and the letters just being worn down. I attached the picture I'm referencing from the article.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 11/10/2024 09:46 am to the Community When a die starts getting old and fatigue after striking millions of planchet it'll begin to lose some of the original patterns and in cases such as this being struck on a copper plated zinc core the conditions will become more severe, simply it is due to die wear.
