JohnDeVito Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 12/20/2015 6:58 pm There certainly appears to be doubling in the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY". Some letters show the doubling on both sides if the letter, for example the I, the rightmost vertical of the N, the D, the W, the T, the R, the U, and the S in "IN GOD WE TRUST". The upper half of all the letters in "LIBERTY" also looks to be very affected. Just looking to learn from the folks here as to what I am seeing. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Thanks, John Report this Post to the Staff

The explanation was that the die was worn out and if used much longer it would probably break. I am no expert so see what someone else says. Report this Post to the Staff
