Yes, that is the most satisfying way, but be sure you have a reference with you as I have had at least 3 different machine doubled dates offered as the DDO,with nothing on the liberty. Jim |

On the second one, it says, "Moderate extra thickness shows on the date and LIBER of LIBERTY" I can't see the difference in LIBER when comparing those letters to the letters TY. Is it more obvious when hold the coin in hand and moving it in the light? And if I might ask, what do "EDS", "MDS", and "LDS" markers refer to? thanks... |

EDS= early die state
MDS= middle die state
LDS= late die state
The die states are an indicator of the life of the die, early states have crisp detail and no flow lines to late states with mushy details and heavy flow lines.

Thank you...looking for corollaries here.
So does the existence of flow lines indicate a strike that is less than strong?
And, does the non-existence of flow lines serve as a clue towards a strong strike?
