<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tomfiggy, post: 2256707, member: 51884&quot;]A hole or depression can only be made by something contacting the coin not the die. The coat and head are the lowest point of the die, anything damaging the top of the die would appear in the field, or lowest part of the coin. If something was between the coin and the die during the strike it would appear as a strike through and be lower but would maintain the shape of the object, or a grease filled die.</p><p>&nbsp;I always have to remind myself (doesn;t do much good) that a doubled die always adds to the coin. There is more width, if not outright doubling on the coins features. Any time there is &quot;less&quot; or regular sized digits with seperation lines you can pretty much write it off as being flow lines from die deterioration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
