<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2858608, member: 31773&quot;]I think the OP&#039;s question has been answered. A worn die of course produces Mint State coins. How could it be otherwise?</p><p><br /></p><p>The luster discussion is for sure tangential. My original point was that very worn dies actually still produce strongly lustrous coins, though the distortion of the devices (causing &quot;mushy&quot; features) can degrade from eye appeal and reduce the grade. The coins will still be MS, but common coins in VLDS can&#039;t really grade in the upper echelons.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 22 no-D is a special case, in that the distortions are so severe as to make it into a defacto error coin of particular rarity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
