Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/20/2017 10:29 pm Go to http://www.traildies.com a trial die is a/worn out die where metal flows I perpendicular lines from the details. The lines on your coin are abraded polishing marks Not sure what you think you see?... Seems normal coin, the 68 series had bold details and close to rim on master dies (the dies that every other die sets made from) Edited by Crazyb0 08/20/2017 10:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Redifin Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 08/20/2017 11:07 pm I do see both MD and doubling on obverse. Reverse is straight MD. However, I don't think the doubling is true doubling but die deterioration/over polishing perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 12:52 pm The date appears to have MD but the top right arm of the Y in LIBERTY looks interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 1:04 pm Confer, look at center top bar of T, please explain "notching" in center of device. I suspect a form of Die Deterioration or possibly start of a filled cavity? Report this Post to the Staff
