Not sure if this is an error or something someone can explain. You can clearly see a flat colored B just above the B in Liberty. Thee are a couple other faint "ghost" letters next to it. What causes this?
Hello! The flattened B in LIBERTY looks to be PMD, or post mint damage. The "ghost" lettering is Die Deterioration Doubling, reflection off what lighting you have, or your camera.. I'm not an expert, but that's what I think it looks to be. Happy hunting!
