Just A Guy Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Theres no value, but i found a cool example of the variety of distortions you can get from die deterioration. It has lots of exaggerated MD, the letter E has double stems in the middle. Just an all around great example of what can go wrong with a bad die. Not so much on the obverse, but the upper left of the reverse is really noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstang Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 That's a great example of DDD. When the die starts to get worn, the metal flows towards the rim instead of in the cavity of the letters. Good photo for a teaching tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said die deterioration, which was correct, but MD (machine dbling) is not what i meant lol. You are correct DDD. I found this penny a few weeks ago. Came across it again while organizing some of my misc. Really good example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
