<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 480775, member: 112&quot;]I understand Mike, but it is something I have never seen before. I said the denticles getting longer because that was the easiest way of saying it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the rim of the die eroding, not gonna say it couldn&#039;t happen but I find it unlikely because that is one of the strongest parts of the die, especially on these coins because the rim is so wide. Now I could see it if perhaps the entire section of the rim gave way and broke off. But just the inside edge, and to have that break remain perfectly flat and smooth as is indicated by the surface of the coin ? And smooth on both the vertical and the horizontal surfaces ? That I can&#039;t buy. Metal breaks just don&#039;t happen that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if the metal did break, or even erode away thru excessive use - what is then that pushed or held the metal between the rim and the denticles down flat ? So I&#039;m sorry pal, there had to be something there on that die or it wouldn&#039;t look like that. I am still suspicious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
