<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 4082722, member: 106826&quot;]When you have a coin struck by a die/die set that is LDS or VLDS (late die states), the devices are largely worn out and take on that deteriorated die appearance.&nbsp; You begin to lose contrast of the devices and begin to see heavy flow lines on the surface of the coin and around the devices.&nbsp; Where die wash is excessive, you start to see a &#039;smeared&#039; appearance on the outer most devices.&nbsp; As your fellow enthusiast note, it&#039;s die deterioration strike.&nbsp; Very common for early 60s nickels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
