These die defects can change shape and grow over the life of the die.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.error-ref.com\/die-gouges\/\">Die gouges<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.error-ref.com\/heavy-die-scratches\/\">die file marks<\/a> are typically assumed to be caused during the preparation of the die, whether accidental or not. A good example of a die gouge and die scratches occur in 1863. The scratches or file marks will be inside Liberty&#8217;s ear. On one variety, a gouge connects the M in AMERICA with one of Liberty&#8217;s feathers. Any evidence of man-made error on a die seems to command interest and a premium, especially for oddities that can&#8217;t be explained.<\/p>\n<p>And then there are oddities that are wild!
