Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 06/05/2016 12:59 pm To me it looks like Machine Doubling and your coin was also struck when the die was on its last leg. So what you are seeing on D-G-REGINA are actually die flow lines. To tell for sure though, I would like to see a closer image of the areas that you think have doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 06/05/2016 1:28 pm The lines on the letters and ribbon are not die trails. I remember seeing it referred to it as "die burn" and is common on early MPPS coins. Most likely an effect of die wear. The 2001 Volunteer dimes are an example of this, easier to find those with than without. Report this Post to the Staff
