    1992 D spider web a day late

    Additional Information
    Date: 1992

    Just wanted to see if anyone had seen this before. I checked all types of cracks on Cuds On Coins and came up empty. I used a toothpick and they are solid copper underneath. Thanks for looking, Jon.

    Never seen anything like that Jon. It really does look like a spider web! How bizarre! If the anomaly is cut into the coin, I would think PSD but what could make such a pattern? If it's raised... then I would think die cracks, but still what a weird pattern!

    It cannot be psd in that it only affects the incuse devices which would be the raised devices on the die. It is some kid of die damage, possibly abrasion marks, me thinks.

    Thanks Viv!! Hope to get some feedback on this. It's really odd looking and figured there was something that JC had but no luck. I had never looked at shattered dies until this evening on his site and thought that may be what it was but not... I might send to him and see what he thinks.

    I might agree with that but there is no direction or consistency to it Roller. Usually when there are polishing lines they line up somewhat. It is only in the fields too not on the devices. I'm a little perplexed by this one with nothing to compare.

    Really neat looking Jon.
    Wonder if the rollers could do this as they roll the planchet stock to the correct thickness if the plating didn't adhere to the zinc core properly. (Or are the planchets rolled and cut out before the plating process?)

    It reminds me of paint on a wall that has gotten water behind it and looks like it is melting down the wall.

    You're welcome Jon! I think sending it to JC is a great idea! This is a tough one!

    It could easily be PSD....something as simple as a person with a scribe tool trying to be artistic

    I thought about that Roger but as Roller said it is not on the devises. Do you think JC would be able to tell?

    I was puzzled by Roller's remark....if a person was doing this purposely.....why couldn't they just scribe between the devices ? Just like a coloring book....stay between the lines...pretty easy when they're raised. As for JC....it wouldn't hurt to ask him.
