luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 6:46 pm Looks like it was struck with a worn obverse die. 1974 does have a few nice doubled die varieties particularly on the motto and part of date but yours isn't showing the characteristics. There are several threads about the 74 and 74 D die varieties in older posts, their are some good photos you can check out for comparison.

That's exactly correct. It's a double whammy for this coin. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/ http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/ Errers and Varietys.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 11:19 am That is Machine Doubling. How can I tell? The bottoms of the devices on the motto. You can see striation lines there, so it is from die movement after the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
