MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 01/23/2008 8:10 pm Are these split serifs or die damage? I see split serifs on the first T and S in trust. The 2nd T looks more like die damage. The date also has a couple of oddities. There is extra metal on the top of the diagonial bar of 4. Same extra metal shows on horizontial bar of 2. Need some more learning.. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 01/25/2008 12:59 am Yes, and technically die doubling, these are one of the most common ones that exist. If you look at 100 War Nickels of any date, probably 30% to 40%, if not more will exhibit this. This was a master die issue for years on Jeffersons and is one of the most common doubled dies known. It unfortunately carries no premium at all. It is though, a good example of what split serifs are. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 01/25/2008 01:00 am On the 2, it is coincidental Machine Doubling. It has nothing to do with the split serifs. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
