Is this a doubled P and doubling around the letters N GOD ? or the dreaded Machine Doubling strikes again? :( Image: 1999PJeffersonjpeg2.jpg 52.63 KB Image: 1999PJeffersonjpeg3.jpg 48.9 KB Image: 1999PJeffersonjpeg4.jpg 57.66 KB Image: 1999PJeffersonjpeg1.jpg 53.74 KB Image: 1999PJeffersonInGodjpeg1.jpg 44.32 KB Image: 1999PJeffersonInGodjpeg2.jpg 43.31 KB Image: 1999PJeffersonInGodjpeg3.jpg 51 KB Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 05/10/2008 6:51 pm This looks like Die Deterioration to me. Notice how the doubling in the P ends up making a bigger P than the original. The edges around letters in the die are sharp corners. These edges wear away faster than the flatter areas on the die. As these areas wear they create a false doubling effect around the letters.
