Hi all, looked like MD when I was first going over it. Then it started looking like DD. Then MD lol, Still not sure on this one. Any opinions appreciated.
Looks like a lot going on...Pretty sure the IGWT is "Push Doubling" and Die Deterioration........The date is MD...the Y in Liberty looks interesting but I'm not all that good with older Lincolns.
It is Die Deterioration. Die wear is first seen on devices hear the rim/or facing the rim. Classic example is the 1955 so called doubled die. As the die ages it keeps getting worse until it is retired. All the same cause on your images.
