<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3969445, member: 106826&quot;]As Paddy notes, die deterioration.&nbsp; As you note, there is die wash where the field meets the rim.&nbsp; When you see this, the die face is no longer flat and the wear around the edges creates this effect.&nbsp; Another characteristic is the blurring of the date and other outer device details.&nbsp; The 1955 Poor-man&#039;s Doubled Die is a classic example, especially the last 5 in the date as it lands in the area where the field meets the rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
