MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 11/12/2020 11:07 pm I am guessing this this just deteriorated die doubling or Machine Doubling, but there was enough going on with some of the letters that the newbie in me wanted to ask and get educated as to why some the letters look the way they do. Particularly the letters in LIBERTY . Nothing listed on VV, so I know that is a long shot that this is anything. Report this Post to the Staff

Your coin does have a lot of Die Deterioration as evidenced by the strong die flow lines, particularly between the forehead hair area and the rim. It is also quite strong around IN and the bowtie. The obverse shows the effects of a more heavily worn die than the reverse. I don't see "splits" or notching around any of the devices either. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 11/13/2020 06:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/13/2020 1:18 pm Just extreme die wear. First clue? The fields. Note the heavy die flow lines on them. Second clue, the distortion of the devices. They are not regular shaped. Note all the devices are trying to move to the closest rim direction. Spender, unless you want to have a coin to show to a new collector to educate them. Report this Post to the Staff
