    ...At least to me. Both of these reverses have the coin wrapping damage look but way out on the rim and behind the lettering. Nothing spectacular but interesting to look at.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Most interesting deteriorated dies actually look like the die is about to fail. I present to you an 1839O Reeded Edge half in terminal die state. Die cracks abound... this die was literally about to fall apart. Notice how the lettering is split, different parts are at different heights. The fields have different depths because the die is literally splintering apart.
