<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3988040, member: 106826&quot;]It may have been exposed to elements (e.g., sand and wind) on one side for an extended period before being picked up.&nbsp; Also, during the coining process, the die may have been in a later die state.&nbsp; You see this often enough with coin Lincoln cents where a die from a die set is damaged badly and replaced.&nbsp; So instead of a LDS hammer die paired with an LDS anvil die, you might get something like EDS paired with LDS.&nbsp; Also, a capped die strike would be akin to this.&nbsp; As for its age...I just don&#039;t know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
