I was wondering if anyone knows why this site is not accepting submissions? It's been this way for awhile. I found this cutie today. The full outline of the head of Lincoln on the reverse and wraps into bay 9 and a pillar behind the neck on the obverse. I cannot locate it anywhere on the site. Any ideas? Best I can do for pics. @mikediamond Thanks. Tom
Hey Tom, Not seeing it on my end but I do see Progressive Indirect Design Transfer Definition: This is a lesser known form of die deterioration which transfers design outlines from one die to the other. Since there are many types of design transfer (clashed dies, brockages, etc.), it is preferable to call this type of design transfer “Progressive Indirect Design Transfer” or “PIDT”. Other synonyms you’re likely to encounter are “heavy design transfer”, “internal metal displacement phenomenon (IMDP), and “ghosting”. Here was the best shot of heavy outlining: All the above information came from http://www.error-ref.com/ Reed.
Thanks, never thought of that. I have a G.B. cent just like yours but it's the only one I have found so it escaped me.
Yep, that post from @352sdeer helped out a lot with this one. My bad photos, though do not really show the pillar behind the neck, so I guess I have a combination of sorts? PITD and clash? There is an awful lot of die polishing going on with this.
No Tom not my Penny that’s the sites image I jacked. But I do have Lincoln cents that exhibit almost like yours but yours is very late stage. Nice. Reed.
