<p>[QUOTE="SensibleSal66, post: 5177508, member: 115232"]When a die become dirty, the devices, which are incuse on the die's surface, can become filled with dirt or grease. When this happens, the part of the die that is clogged will not leave a raised image on the coin's surface when it's struck. The image that is pressed into the die has tappered sides, so as it begins to fill with debris, the image that is left on the coin's surface will appear wider. As the die image continues to fill, the area will eventually become full of debris and fail to transfer any design to the coin's surface, resulting in missing details[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
