Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/25/2010 11:32 pm This one has all kinds of things going on with it. Educate me. First, is this motto doubled? Second, look how "RTY" seems to have an extra layer of letters on it, as well as his hair curls. Third, is this just some kind of "pitting"? Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 05/26/2010 12:40 am Thanks Chuck. I figured as much but the "RTY" was new to me. Hadn't quite seen that kind of die wear before. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 05/26/2010 07:54 am Occasionally I run across the narratives on DD'd quarters that include descriptions of thick/fat lettering. I dont know enough about quarters to ever discern whether these extra fat letters are dd'd or die wear. There sure are a lot of them, though. Report this Post to the Staff
