<p>[QUOTE=&quot;XanthenX, post: 3226638, member: 97195&quot;]Shouldn&#039;t a later die state &quot;bleed out&quot;, in varied amounts, from all of the edges of the individual lettering? Whenever I first started studying Lincoln Cents, approximately one year ago, my first big disappointment and hands on in the field experience, a 1983 P business strike cent that was a VLDS specimen. </p><p>I am certain that on that particular coin the letters reminded me of a candle holder&#039;s overflow onto a plate but more uniform. This added thickness but not split serifs, and also the added bulk to the characters were, in every single letter, statically sloping in a downward trajectory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not in disagreement with your analysis, just attempting to understand how many different appearances machine doubling borne of a worn later staged die can take on.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;When I look at the characters themselves, there are split serifs and an additional duplicate body of the original design feature, with an identical elevation to the parent character? It never ceases to amaze me how stumped I still truly am on this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
