That's just one of the indicators Viv. To really be able to observe what is and isn't die wear, you would obviously need a better coin. We have all seen where the tops of the letters/devices start getting mushy and die flow lines begin to appear. That is wear die wear comes into play. Sharper edges of letters normally means an earlier die state. You can learn a lot about die states and subsequently die wear by just looking at the outer edges of the devices.

Thank you Bob! This just reminded me, do you have another fun learning exercise coming up for us? No prizes needed, just the fun of learning, and having you teach us is the best prize!

Yay! Thank you Bob! We are ready for whatever you have in mind and look forward to another fun learning exercise! I'm sure we will have a lot of questions, but I know you can take on the LCF bunch... one handed!
