My problem agreeing here is the fact of what it takes to "repair" this shift of hubbing. Generally, a shift this great affects ALL the motto, a 3% shift(think 1955) making that working hub would have been trashed by quality control, not polished out which would have been near impossible between all devices. That said, here's a "what if"...to repair this 3% shift, the die must be ground down(if possible) and start the hubbing process over again. If this is/can be done the possibility exists that not all previous details were "erased", leaving a previous partial impression. This would de a question for Mike Diamond, not John Wexlers?  |

Good point. Still a head scratcher for me a little bit.
Errers and Varietys.

@ CrazyB did you check out this mention of similarity from TB Quote:That said, the reason I am asking that that I find enough similarity with 1964 DDO-022 that I think it is worth running around the experts for an opinion. Which people are giving and I thank you! http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...4PDDO022.htm there is another really odd one that was discovered with one of our members a few months back I believe it was from the 1940's and it affected IN GOD - it was cool but I can't find the thread on it.

Other examples of large shifts without much else going on, I think, would be the new 1944 WDDO-022 and the mysterious 1934 DDO-004. But here there is still the missing O doubling...

I was thinking a later post de-bunked that one as "not" a doubled die. Could be wrong.

Yes, the spot in the center of the O is raised, but I think I've seen such a thing on a variety of cents from that era and haven't really considered it as part of anything fishy going on.

Can we rule out an issue with the original blank or planchet step?

I think so. I've got a lot of these from that set I went through so it pretty much has to be a die issue.

I would like to see other areas of the devices.
1. The eye area
2. LIBERTY area
3. Other devices of the motto as well.
4. The top of the head outline to see it is altered.
If just the areas seen are affected, it might be die damage. But if it is a hub related issue, other areas might show us more. It looks raised. But the absence of a raised area on the 'O' concerns me.

I have received this coin back from Mr. Wexler. His determination is that this is a die gouge, so I do believe that is the end of the story here. Thanks for all the comments along the way, and we can now call this one solved.
