just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/01/2011 9:46 pm I'm not sure exactly what your looking for. Die stages? If yor are looking for explanations of how dies are made, That guy Coppercoins, Chuck, has a few books out on Lincoln Cents and in one of them on pages 23, 24, 25 he explains the Die Making Process with photos. If he reads this post, he may give you a lot more details. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 12:02 pm I have a work in progress one. I still haven't found an EDS on a 1964 Cent. The best spot to check is on the L on LIBERTY next to the rim. Here is one I put togher for the die dot on the reverse of the 1955 DDO: On the reverse of the Memorial cent you can see die wear appear on the outside edge on the devices that get mushier as die ages. A couple more you might like: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...coop/EDS.jpg Here is probably the only example of a EDS die state on the 1963-D DDO https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._Jason_C.jpg Usually the lower area of the 3 is weak/missing due to die state. It probably doesn't answer your question exactly, but ask if I can fill in a missing blank or not? Report this Post to the Staff

ebm Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 02/02/2011 5:24 pm Coop you are the freakin man! Thanks a bunch. This really helps me see the difference. My main problem was looking for die markers in the wrong stage and not really knowing the difference. Awesome. You rock. Report this Post to the Staff
