John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/22/2009 10:36 pm This one is odd. The rim around the obverse and reverse is wider then the ones I usually see and the edge is a little wide also. My first thought was Die Deterioration but I am not sure. Then I thought maybe trails? but I am not sure. The word TRUST is thicker near the rim and the TR looks doubled but I could not get it to show in the pix. Any and all comments welcome. Thanks all, John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2009 12:04 am The edge devices are showing heavy Die Deterioration. You can see this on devices that face the rim. The heavy die flow appears in that direction near the rim. But the die may have been abraded to remove unwanted marks from a clash. So you have a coin showing the worst of both worlds. Interesting that the fields don't show the same die flow, but things happen that defy explanation sometimes. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2009 10:15 am When a Die moves during a strike it will cause push lines in one direction that the die moves. They may be minor but looking closely you can see them. Note the little striations on the lower parts of the devices? Report this Post to the Staff
