Roller42 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 07/03/2026 3:55 pm I came across this in a box I was going through and thought it would be a good test of my new USB microscope. I never bought one of these, so I must have found it in circulation more than 50 years ago. Edited by Roller42 07/03/2026 4:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8820 Posts	Posted 07/03/2026 4:27 pm Very nice doubled die, congrats! Looks to be 003 or 008. The doubling on 003 is less dramatic on LIBERTY and is what I am leaning towards. Maybe check for some of the markers. 003 LINK http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...2PDDO003.htm 008 LINK http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...2PDDO008.htm By the way, -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 07/03/2026 4:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
