<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 289592, member: 3726&quot;]Okay - I have been searching to get a clear definition of die sinking(swollen dies, weak strike, etc.)&nbsp; I have see large cents were part of the coin detail is missing and the wear looks consistent across the coin.&nbsp; So to me die sinking can cause the details to not be as bold or as strong as the rest of the coin - is this correct?&nbsp; Now how do you tell weak strike from die sinking? Or does it matter.&nbsp; I have also seen were large cents have like one cent on the reverse obliterate and the cause was a swollen die.&nbsp; Could some one clarify all of this for me.&nbsp; I am going to post my new large cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry if it looks like I hi-jacked the thread, but in this case I do not see the &quot;die sinking&quot; and I really want to better understand this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
