Looks similar to CONECA 5-0-III, but could also be Die Deterioration I guess.

I don't see any doubling myself, although the lettering looks odd--die wear?

Actually...Minor notches on WE as well as splits to the serifs, also TRUST. look at lower left of first T, lower left of R, Upper right of U. Look also at the tip of the 6 , there is a notch there as well.

There is also damage that is associated with some of the spots I mentioned but when you've seen enough of these, you can focus in on what to look for.

Very , very minor but still a doubled die.

Hi,

We get used to what to look for even on coins in later die states. I almost always use the WE or the TRUST to identify these. Some will have incredible notching on IN GOD but those are yet a different one than the one you've shown.

The one coop has shown is yet another die variety but you can get an idea from his pics.

seattleMD, I also talk to the animals:-)

Have Fun,
Bill

I added some poorly done arrows to your pic to show you where the notches are.
