I looked through all of the Doubled Dies listed, and none of them looked like yours. Also, Doubled Dies are varieties, not errors. Errers and Varietys.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 06/15/2026 2:06 pm sure looks like MD here. - if it were a true DDO, the doubling would move in the same direction. The 'B' MD goes south, and the 'E' MD goes right. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 06/15/2026 8:40 pm Actually, quite intriguing. Looks more like Die Doubling than MD, at least in the B. The doubling on the E looks more like MD. But Die Doubling occurring only on the B is very unusual. This timeframe was when the mint was experimenting with changes to LIBERTY to reduce BIE formation, so maybe this has something to do with that effort?
