Here's some obverse pics... still a newbie but I think I see some doubling mostly on the "ST" I'm TRUST. If it's not, please let me know what it could be. From my other posts, I do understand that this sure isn't MD. Report this Post to the Staff

CylentOne Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 10/03/2018 09:14 am Yes I see that. Good to know if the spreading is running towards the rim, it's not collectible doubling. Usually doubled die is to the east or west? Report this Post to the Staff
