southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 03/16/2012 9:17 pm I'm going to guess and say it was caused by grease filled/on the die preventing the full L from being struck. Report this Post to the Staff
wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 03/16/2012 9:24 pm Thanks southsav I am not to up on American coin faults, but that makes sense to me, but still doesn't explain the double "I" in Liberty. Would a Grease Fill cause that to happen...? Report this Post to the Staff

wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 03/17/2012 10:02 am Hi southsav Does MD( Machine Doubling) mean the coin was struck twice...? Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 03/18/2012 11:40 am Die deterioration. Very common on zincolns. Causes a ridge of sorts parallel to the rim of the coin, and will often cause parts of the letter "L" to vanish. It also sometimes affects "In God We Trust" and the last number of the date. Die Deterioration is also what caused the so-called 1955 poor-mans doubled die. It's not actually "doubled" it just has that appearance due to a well worn out die. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
