coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/03/2009 04:16 am Mike Diamond mentioned first about these to me. I was showing a bunch of MAD coins and he noticed one I had. I either found a second one, or the one he mentioned. He posted the above image with the explanation about how they happen. It is from continued use of the incorrect settings of the obverse die. After used in the wrong location the die wears off because of the incorrect alignment. as it wears it takes off part of the edge of the die and then if not corrected then continues to remove the devices. when the fields get worn away the die leaves mark you see because that area of the die is missing. They may be centered again, but the missing face of the die is worn away and all coins struck with that will continue to be missing that area. It is noticed by the closer area near the devices or in Mike's example the devices are starting to be removed. Here is the page of this on CCF.

That was very enlightening. Brand new to me! Thankya Sir! Bill PS: I noticed that I had commented on the coin in the other thread. I forgot about it apparently. It was new to me then but not having remembered it, it was new all over again! I think I'll remember it this time! Edited by foundinrolls 09/04/2009 12:14 am Report this Post to the Staff
