pound_foolish Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 08/10/2019 11:19 pm Here are a few additional images. The more I look, the subtle and not-so-subtle evidence of hub doubling really has me puzzled. There is doubling on the inside of the ear (seen in original post, above ear lobe and below), there is obvious extension of the upper eyelid (below), and I can see doubling to the east of the first "T" in TRUST. I've added several images here but again they could certainly be better. I am operating at the limits of my instrumentation so perhaps I can send this off to one of the experts here for a better informed opinion. Now, I completely understand the argument that most or at least more than one device is doubled in MOST doubled dies; however, consider 1934 LWC FS-101. ONLY one device is doubled (date)and even then it's only part of the 9 and part of the 3 in the date. Edited by pound_foolish 08/10/2019 11:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 09:57 am The eyelid is clearly doubled in the same direction as the TY. I think it's a DDO! Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 4:04 pm I believe this is a legitimate DDO and here's why, there is a definitive split at the bottom of the Y. If it were MD'd there would be no split. When the die is loose and shifts it would have smeared the bottom of the devise leaving a solid shelflike appearance with no separation at the bottom of the Y. Report this Post to the Staff

Evan7 Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 4:48 pm I see the eyelid, looks doubled but TY looks like MD to me, but I'm not as knowledgeable as you guys! Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
pound_foolish Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 4:52 pm Is James doing well? I'll gladly send it to him if he's able to attribute it. It's exactly the spread on the bottom of the Y that started me down the road to documenting it. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74602 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 6:16 pm As far as I know, James is doing great. He'll attribute it for 10 dollars plus shipping for return postage. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/11/2019 6:57 pm I would submit images first to make sure the coin is worth submitting. If you want to send in the image I made, you can. That is what I needed to see in order to move ahead with this coin. But try to get images of the whole LIBERTY and other affected ares with space around the devices so if he needs to edit to see what he needs to see, that can happen. (in other words make easy for him and he will be able to get back with you quicker. Report this Post to the Staff
pound_foolish Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 10:23 am Thanks for the scrutiny and evaluations, all. Coop, on your advice I'll send James the best images I can assemble. Now I have to go through all those 1941 LWCs that are scattered in various LWC bags and piles to hunt down another example. I'm not too hopeful, as this one's been hiding for nearly 80 years. I appreciate the thoughtful evaluations you've all offered. Very generous of you folks to offer your time. Edited by pound_foolish 08/12/2019 1:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
