Hi, so ive been reading all day about coin making processes and errors and what not. I was wondering what causes the pillars on the reverse side of this penny to stand out/bulge further then the rest? Im assuming uneven press or the blank was perhaps thicker in those areas mixed with MD? Thanks for the feedback and knowledge everyone. P.S. im not proclaiming error, just curious and want to learn why these different types of things happen on the coins. Thanks!
I would say that those are the highest parts of the coin, and worn the quickest. Also, worn dies being a major influence.
Makes sense, even though the furthest on the right are stepped up higher then the other 2. It steps up 2 pillars at a time? The left 2 and the then the next 2 are even higher. Probably just the luck of the straw over the time of wear or perhaps the material might have been a little harder there? They step up on the very left side as well by 2. Like the middle is lowest and then every 2 pillars it steps up working away
