<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2699085, member: 83738&quot;]You are correct- the areas of the coin that are recessed are actually the high point of the dies.&nbsp; Your other questions are focused on more grey areas.&nbsp; The die hubbing process was drastically changed (was it 1996... ?).&nbsp; Much of the mint errors, such as doubled dies and die cracks, are radically different than they were in the past.&nbsp; [USER=76739]@usmc60[/USER]&nbsp; is better educated in them; thus you would be better off learning from him.&nbsp; (you can also see examples of different features he has documented in his threads)</p><p><br /></p><p>From my understanding (warning: opinion <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)- many of the die cracks from the modern dies are almost more of a splinter that has chipped away because of the&nbsp; the hardness of the dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
