The center lines appear to have attempted to polish the corrosion from the flat surfaces of the die, but they likely were unable to remove it in the recessed areas of the die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most Mercury Dimes were struck quite late in 1916 and likely these dies sat idle waiting for permission to be used. It is possible that the dies might have corroded during that time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
