<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 438197, member: 4381&quot;]&quot;These peg legs are all the result of heavy die abrasion used to erase the clash images of the tops of the two L’s of DOLLAR on either side of the left leg of the R.&nbsp; In this process, the field of the die overlaying the serif-R is abraded away.&nbsp; Here’s what you want to visualize:&nbsp; the devices (design features) on a coin closest to the field of that coin will be the features on the die closest to the field of that die.&nbsp; In this case, the serifs arise from the field of the coin and therefore are the most superficial on the die and the first to be removed with die abrasion.&nbsp; This is not easy to visualize!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel I never understand any of this BUT, if Die abrasion is involved, I&#039;d think it would be rather hard to get Proofs over 65 of this kind.&nbsp; In fact, I&#039;m surprised any proofs at all would be like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
