It's not the horse, it's the frog. Mr. Wexler says it's Die Deterioration. The good news is we can learn a good lesson here. The reason it resembles a Doubled Die so much is because the die erodes on the letters, date, etc., first. "Since the greatest erosion is around the design elements such as the letters, date, etc. the new raised areas resemble doubling." I'm thinking there is only so much planchet metal to go around. Thanks for the excellent referral Coop.
