NewMember Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 1:04 pm I run across this type of occurrence often. There's a very good explanation for why this happens. I don't have a clue what the explanation is though..... Someone will come along soon, I'm sure, then we'll both know... Report this Post to the Staff

NewMember Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 1:07 pm He sees it in the center of the devices. Not doubling, more like splitting through the center, as is often seen on the zinc cents. Report this Post to the Staff
gmanp135 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 1:13 pm Sorry about the pics,I believe it to be in the T,R,and S in trust along with the W in we and the T in liberty, there also appears to be doubling on the reverse in the letters S in states. Report this Post to the Staff
gmanp135 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 1:16 pm Yes now I can see where some could be splitting but the S in states doesn't appear to be. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74881 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 8:27 pm The devices have been flattened in circulation from getting nicked. That would be Post Strike Damage (Happened after it got out of the U.S. Mint). Worth face value since it lowers the value of the coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 11:11 pm I think I see what the OP and NewMember are referring to. There appears to be a line going through the middle of each letter. Report this Post to the Staff
