I read some of it and then I stopped reading it. Very inaccurate. Errers and Varietys.

It's so inaccurate that it sounds like AI making stuff up.

wow, ok! This guy is an idiot - it sounds like he is explaining a Dryer Coin not Die Attrition (Deterioration) Looking at his image - it looks like he just walked out of the mountains (I wonder if he brought his bear Ben with him)  |

Well, I didn't know it was Die Deterioration, so I just learned something, but if it was PMD from a large enough hit to push metal around ... WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE OF THE HIT? The only "hit" that could have pushed the letters toward the rim uniformly would have been the original strike. |

..."A I" is baloney ... a mere search engine that delivers dis-info more quickly...

Actually it is master hub distortion. Over years of using the master hub, the hub slowly spreads outward and the lettering gets further from the center of the die. So when the working die is turned down in the lathe to get the proper final diameter of the die face, over the years the lettering gets closer and closer to the rim. Eventually the master hub gets redone, the central device gets reduced and the lettering moved back closer to the center. On the cents that happened in 1969. If you compare the 1968 cents and the 1969 cents you can see significant changes in the size of the bust and the positioning of the lettering. On the 1968 cents when they turned the die down to the final diameter the inner rim was right down to the letters.
