Is this polished die?

Look at the NI in united. They almost come together?

Does look kindof funny doesn't it! Maybe Mike will stop by and tell us what it is!

Thanks Speedy, it's a little odd. I guess I will chalk it up to die polishing although this one does not have that much orange peel???

It doesn't seem to have the orange peel look does it! That is kindof odd....

Looks like die deterioration.

 

Is it an 1983

I have found many 1983 P&Ds like your post

 

I think you are right - The two letters look odd but I do think it is a result of deterioration. The nickel still has nice luster on it and not too much orange peel so it's a good example for me to keep. The 84 I posted in another thread is another nickel I think I will keep as a great example of die deterioration doubling.

Thanks

Darryl

 

Yes - 83D.

 

I think they ran that die for the hole year

 

LOL - this cannot be that much different than Quarters?

The "United States of America" is twice the width as normal - this is probably a result of over polishing?
