John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/23/2010 10:08 am This is probably Die Deterioration but I seldom see "this" kind. I was wondering why the lines are going in two different directions? The angled lined on NIT and then the lines between the letters and the rim run in a different direction,just curious and wanted to share. Thanks all, John1 Report this Post to the Staff

razorear Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 06/23/2010 2:08 pm http://www.maddieclashes.com/ I believe I saw something that resembled that on this sight, can't swear to it though. Report this Post to the Staff
StJoeBlues Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 06/23/2010 6:16 pm John1 - what year is that cent? I have one (I'll have to dig it out) that I think has the same features on the same letters. It looks like a shadow of the letters created by a light shining from the left. Edit: Oops, never mind, I just noticed the subject line again. I'll have to put up some pix of mine. Matt Edited by StJoeBlues 06/23/2010 6:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/24/2010 10:56 am This is most likely die abrasion from a rotary wire brush "Dremel tool" sort of thing...which (in my opinion) is the same thing that causes the "trails". The way to find out whether the two of you have the same die there is to photograph the mintmark area and compare them for position. Because mintmarks were applied to the dies by hand, having two coins with similar anomalies AND the mintmark in an identical position would be rather unlikely if they are two different dies.
