It's hard to tell from the images but I'm pretty sure it is MD on the left side of the BE (LIBERTY) as well. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
danakroids New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 12:30 pm Okay so 100% not a DDO right? I really couldn't tell with this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 12:43 pm It definitely has MD and the obverse is made from an older, well-worn die so it has Die Deterioration as well. That is what you are seeing on the left side of the letters of LIBERTY. I'm not seeing any hub doubling at all. Die Deterioration can affect the coin by making the devices appear wider or thicker to an inexperienced collector. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 05/11/2020 11:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 4:41 pm When you look at the tops of the devices, you can see the striation lines on the areas where you are looking. (striation lines happen when metal to metal rub happens on the coin from the die) A sure sign of Machine Doubling. Thus reduces the normal devices with this damage line on the devices.
