I received this 1967 PL Dollar (taken from a PL Set) I was looking at the coin and saw some extra metal under magnification with a macro lens and phone.
It looks like Die Deterioration, the serifs are not right and there is extra metal on the R and A in REGINA.
The letters appear to be distorted. Double struck, likely Strike Doubling of some sort. With the quantity minted, would not be surprised if it was Die Deterioration.
These pictures are from a PL-65 ICCS in a plastic flip; the L in ELIZABETH has the same split serif and looks repunched. The serif on the N in REGINA is the same as my first example and the A and N exhibit minor doubling.
This is the second example with this split serif on the obverse L among my 2 PL 1967 Silver Dollars, anyone else see this on their examples.
