<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2671302, member: 112&quot;]Clashed dies couldn&#039;t do that. It is after all the very tops of the shield lines that are being flattened. And on a die the tops of the shield lines are the lowest point. If the tops of the lines were high points, then it might be possible for a clash to flatten them. But not when they are low points.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes many of these coins show this flattened effect, I don&#039;t dispute that. But then that&#039;s why I showed examples of how that flattened effect first starts, and then progressively gets worse with more and more wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Go to Heritage Larry and look at all the examples there. I only posted a few from each stage - no wear, wear beginning, and wear more advanced. But there are many of each there to see. Coins with wear on them show progressive stages just coins struck with worn dies show progressive stages of the die wear.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is not one single series of coins that always shows the earlier stages of wear in the same places, or wears in the same way all the time ! Not one ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
