d_dob Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 07/09/2016 5:48 pm I came across this in loose change and it caught my eye, so, I took a closer look at it later with a loupe, and was kind of surprised at the doubling on "Five Cents", particularly on "Cents". I know the reverse looks like the die has deteriorated. Is this doubling from that? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/09/2016 6:00 pm A VLDS die example that struck your coin. Sometimes the devices take a course of their own. But that is the biggest problem with your coin. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 07/09/2016 6:49 pm The reverse is a late die state. Excessive metal flow lines. That may have contributed to the doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
