Yes the coin is beat up, but more so the dies were over used, this is a form of die deterioration. It is called progressive indirect die transfer.
sadly I don't have a pic because this is my school Chromebook. has no d mark, might take a pic at home but currently not.
Thanks @Pickin and Grinin Had to look that one up. Here’s a good explanation. https://www.error-ref.com/progressive-indirect-design-transfer/
I think the coin you posted is a nice example of PIDT. And in my opinion has a lot more educational value than that pretty thing in plastic.
If I ever found that genie in a bottle, and they were to give me an extra wish, I'd wish coins and currency could tell us their story. Boy, wouldn't that be something?
Yes that’s what I think of when I see a coin that age, wear and tear. Like the war nickels, thinking of those days. Yes if they could talk.
