coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/02/2019 12:13 pm Looks like die gouges. Why is it is not a doubled die? Because it doesn't copy the hubs design. The die had some die gouges on that area. So all coins struck with that die will show the same thing until the fields are polished and that will remove the affected area of the die. If they are raised, they incuse on the die, raised on the coin. If those areas were incuse on the coin, then it would be damage to the coin. The die would be normal. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/02/2019 1:05 pm That is on all of them. Just part of the design that year. The following year, they made a new master hub. The old master hub was swelling outwards. Thus the devices were more closer and closer to the rim. This year they were on the rim. Note how much smaller the bust was in 1969?
