<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1270452, member: 29239&quot;]If you are talking about the sunken in place then it is probably from a die that has a chip starting to come loose from the die.</p><p>when a die chip first starts to break loose from a coin die it will be swelled out a little around the loose area and make sunken in </p><p>areas on the coins the die strikes. eventually the loose die chips fall out of the die and this makes a shallow place on the die</p><p>and when the die strikes more coins this die chip area will make raised out blobs of metal on the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>or it is possible that some foreign object had become stuck onto the surface of the die and kept making these depressions. I have </p><p>a lot of state quarters from the same die that has a couple of raised die chips on them and in another area they have a sunken in area that perfectly matches </p><p>one of the die chip areas. I&#039;m almost sure that when one of the chips fell out of the die it got stuck onto the die and kept making the sunken in areas.I had photos </p><p>of one of these coins on another thread on here a while back , some of you may remember seeing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
