Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 80575 Posts	Posted 09/30/2026 1:40 pm There's a difference in size, but it's not from a Doubled Die. It's from Die Deterioration.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5925 Posts	Posted 10/01/2026 07:29 am There also appears to be a light " Ridge Ring" running through the tops of "WE TRUST", which lines up with the thickness we are seeing. This is another indicator of Die Deterioration. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
