Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 05/16/2008 5:10 pm Mikediamond, thanks for the link but I'm already a member on there BUT I forgot the password to the e-mail/group it's in. I'll try to rattle my brain and try to figure it out. I know there's a doubled die reverse for the 1870, but it's pretty drastic on the S in cents and on some of the reverse stars. I'm pretty sure it's not this. I've also looked in my other resources and nothing is listed but they are a bit dated. Close up photos coming soon. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 05/17/2008 12:44 am It's quite peculiar looking. But the manner in which the doubling completely surrounds the letters of IN GOD would indicate that it's something other than a doubled die. Error coin writer and researcher.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 05/18/2008 01:43 am I agree, it does not look like die doubling. The flatness of the doubling and the distortion of the lettering leads away from it. It my have been a loose die. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 05/18/2008 2:36 pm I think this could be multiple issues. It looks to me like there is significant die wear causing most of what is seen around "IN GOD", but there is also MD in the "TRUST". It always gets fun when there is more than one thing going on.
