Cons Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 11/24/2021 1:02 pm Hi All. This post is to help me move up the learning curve. This coin shows extreme MD on the Obverse and Reverse. In the past I would think this was DD but the subtleties between the MD and DD are difficult, so trying to figure this out. Why MD? My guesses: 1 Shelf like appearance 2. No split serifs 3. Devices do no show extra thickness I would like your opinion on coin and guesses to help me determine if I am correct. Report this Post to the Staff

Cons Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 11/24/2021 1:47 pm Thank you Kevin, although sometimes I think I over-consolidate! One thing I overlooked was the DDD - I guess I was thinking that MD is a result of DD and so did not parse it out. Maybe that is not true though....hmmmmm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/24/2021 2:07 pm I consider it more of a DDD than MD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Cons Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 11/24/2021 2:12 pm I think I should have said " guess I was thinking that MD is a result of Die Deterioration and so did not parse it out. Maybe that is not true though....hmmmmm So John you think this results from DDD more that MD? Report this Post to the Staff
