coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 12:46 pm It might be a die gouge/die dent on that area. The fields are the outside part of the die, so if it had made contact in the area it would be dented/gouged into the die, creating a raised field area. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 12:57 pm The dies from the 1950's suffered a lot of over use during that decade. If you note the 55 are different on each. Possible die wear on the second one. A little contact on the first 5 making it a little wider at the top. The centers are both showing wider area from coin contact. But nothing real special.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 1:04 pm I took a look at LIBERTY. It seems normal. I think you are noting the notch at the lower part of the "R". But if a doubled die is observed, it affects all the devices. I think your are now at the point where you are looking too hard for a doubled die. I've been there myself. The eye gets trained so much it notices everything. But hub doubling is more uniform. When you find a doubled die, it leap out at you. Then you will know that we are looking to hard for something that may not even be there. But keep looking, they are out there. Report this Post to the Staff
