2foxy Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 5:12 pm I found this 1995 P LMC with Machine Doubling on both sides but also has significant distortion of the lettering particularly on the obverse. I haven't seen this before, is this common? Thanks in advance :) Report this Post to the Staff

Cointree Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 6:19 pm There is a lot going on with that coin. Die Deterioration on the date and Liberty. Also split-plating on Liberty and IGWT. MD and possible split-plating on UNITED STATES the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
