Montgomery Valued Member Canada 429 Posts	Posted 09/28/2024 07:11 am I pick up this one recently. The gratia and rex letters have some notched corners (more visible on the X). In the same time, can we considered the fold metal on the reverse as a lamination issue? Even with the green spots, I decided to keep it. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 09/28/2024 10:40 am From the photos, I don't see any doubling, but looking at the small serifs on some of the letters (especially the I's), it looks like it was struck with a tired die, so I'd guess DDD instead of anything else. The "fold" looks like a gouge that removed it from the denticles and deposited it elsewhere. Edited by okiecoiner 09/29/2024 08:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1352 Posts	Posted 09/28/2024 1:25 pm When you expand the photos, it looks like it to me. The X and the P on the right side are the best indicators. Here is mine for comparison. https://www.pcgs.com/valueview/edwa...887460&h=pop It is tough to show photographically because the offsets are small, but after looking at it closely, I think these are actually tripled die obverse. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.

Same obverse die, methinks. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner. Life Member of RCNA.
