SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 6:03 pm Oddly enough for you, there's insufficient magnification involved. Look at the serifs - UNI and the tips of the T crossbars seem like the best place to look - for actual separation and definition. If you visualize MD as "smearing," you'll understand why it can't create split serifs. There are three recorded DDR's for this issue, plus one which Heritage identified as an unattributed fourth: https://coins.ha.com/itm/seated-hal...ption-071515 I think yours is either FS-801 or another of those, from these pics.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 7:13 pm This is true doubling, IMO, affecting the entire legend on the reverse. I think Dave is on the right track.

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/07/2017 10:38 pm I would've thought the same thing what kanga said. But I'd like to examine it on hand. Report this Post to the Staff
