<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 6234230, member: 106826&quot;]I agree...looks like an IDB with some wear/deterioration going on with the tops of the outer devices (note: the die wash sweeps from the tops of the devices to the outer rim).&nbsp; The date looks pretty good but you can see some wash going on in the last 5. The mints really worked their dies to beyond their normal, useful life in the 50s.&nbsp; Interestingly, this die stage looks to be MDS with the interior break.&nbsp; Makes me wonder what else might have been going on in the 50s with die making/materials.&nbsp; Maybe there is more to the story than just overworking the dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
