<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3910169, member: 106826&quot;]The die set that struck your coin was LDS/VLDS.&nbsp; As noted by our fellow enthusiasts, when the die is in a late or very late state, the outer devices tend to blend into the rim and everything appears poorly defined.&nbsp; Cracks and chips appear.&nbsp; In addition too the DDD, you have some machine damage going on.&nbsp; When you see a shelf-like appearance in a direction on your coin, the equipment wobble caused a tiny bit of movement at the top of the stroke leaving the damage.&nbsp; Something to keep in mind is that you will see LDS/VLDS attributes for various periods throughout the Lincoln Series.&nbsp; For instance, in the 50s the tools were used to the point of exhaustion and there are many mushy dates (e.g., 1955 poor man&#039;s doubleddie) and broken/chipped dies (e.g., BIE cents).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
