<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kristine Garrant, post: 8218921, member: 124772&quot;]yeah i am not understanding how my pics go from the order i uploaded them, what i am seeing as i write the pozst to hitting send and it scrambles everything.&nbsp; this is not the first post this has happened on, so i am really confused.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>ok so I am on the right track. yay! ty! and i understand what you are saying about circulation damage, but i guess severe die wear would make more sense to me because this specific fading of the words STATES OF and the motto is something I am seeing on a lot of coins from different years with different degrees of circulation damage.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am finding it on pretty red ones and extremely dulled out brown ones.&nbsp; I know for a fact, that there is no rhyme or reason to the years this is occurring.&nbsp; But I do know this, it&#039;s happening.&nbsp; Now I am gonna go back and see if there is any difference in what mint produced these.&nbsp; and if die deterioration is right, i am curious to know why it is happening???&nbsp; it is always in the same spot of the coin, always on the reverse and in multiple years.&nbsp; It brings me back to the process of when it was first made and makes me wonder how this is possible?&nbsp; I find this fascinating! because, if I am not mistaken, the working dies and hubs are changed out every so often?&nbsp; that being the case, it would rule out die deterioration and make it more PMD ??&nbsp; like from being used in an arcade game for example?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>this is all because of things I am observing and things I am trying to learn.&nbsp;&nbsp; It helps me wrap my head around the logistics of making a coin and things that might occur after...just plain old curiosity![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
