coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/16/2010 7:53 pm It's the same Die Deterioration described in other threads recently - although they look slightly different in result, they are all caused by the same thing. The give away is multipart: 1. A ridge line, usually affecting the top third to two thirds of the design around the rim raises the field and sometimes obliterates the motto to some extent. 2. There is usually a rusty bumpy appearance to some other areas of the surface of the coin as transferred from the die. 3. There are often striations (flow lines) leading from the ridge outward to the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
