<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 7485326, member: 111067&quot;]The metal of each coin struck is moving against the die surface as it fills in the deeper parts, normally located at the centre of the coin,(bust etc). This constant movement slowly wears the die surface until it becomes extreme like yours shows. It is a classic &quot;tell&quot; of a severely worn die. Also to fill the deeper centre, the metal flows from out to in, or there would not be enough metal to fill the incuse area sufficiently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
