Looks like it took a few hits in that area as well.

Okay, so the Die Deterioration causes the numbers to be imprinted in the planchet, like the first "9" and then clearly the following "8", then a lighter strike slightly to the left for the top numbers? The Liberty looks like the first strike hit deeper than the second strike which was moved to the right? Does the split plating account for the jacked up rim inside the rim's edge (see pic 3 left of Liberty before true rim)? |

Every thing you are seeing is the copper plating bubbling up and separating from the zinc core beneath.

No double strike here.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

That is Die Deterioration as already mentioned. The devices on the date shows on the right side, the devices on LIBERTY show on the left side. The motto letters will show on the top.  Just a die that is showing its age. See see this on the single squeeze dies as they have a lower profile on the dies compared with the older multi-hub dies in the past. Edited by coop

Generally, each coin (other than proofs) receives one strike. What's recessed on the die is in relief on the coin and vice-versa. As the die wears, it becomes more recessed and causes extra relief on the coin. It is called MD. Your coin also suffers from post strike environmental damage. All of the above often mimicks valuable minted errors. The time you spend around here will help you learn to tell them apart.

I appreciate all the time the community spends evaluating my finds and educating me and so many others on the variations, nuances and attributes of coin varieties.
It is great to have people who know supporting you on a good find and letting you down easy when it isn't what it appears.
Thanks Everyone!

I can only speak for myself; you are certainly welcome. I think there will come a day (probably sooner than you think), that you will be able to return the favor to a new person. A lot of that goes on here.  |
