Can you get another nice closeup of the regular LIBER, showing the higher incuse arc.

Also the top left corner of the building including the EP and left dot.

Thanks in advance.

That major bend in the coin is a big addition to this mystery...

I still stand by my explanation. It is the MERI backwards from the reverse. That is the only letters that close to the rim.

Cujohn sorry to disagree but it is clearly IBER of LIBERTY. MREI would be much larger. The flattening on the reverse makes me think it's not legitimate.

An torsioned coin as is for me it is clear a simmulation of an error. I posses and see manny (not to manny) with this kind of error, but never doubled as this or bended.

For me an fake error.

As others have said, these extra letters were applied to the coin after it left the Mint. It's not an error.
Error coin writer and researcher.
