[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 2123532, member: 8797"]Thanks for your input. :) I have a question though: How does such a strongly defined crack form on the inner edge like that? It's really intriguing to me that it is a strike through rather than deteriorated dies. The contrast between the fields within the ring, with heavy die polish marks (or striations?), and the fields within the ring itself is striking. The ringed area is indeed recessed as you see it. While the design is blurred in some areas, in others like the date the details are visible despite the heavily recessed ring in the field area. If I'm interpreting your assessment correctly, grease was pretty much in a complete ring around both dies, mostly limited to the fields. The design details on the dies were effected by grease filling some more than others, unevenly. As if it was the first coin struck after a fresh lube job? Am I even close?[/QUOTE]
