Rosep New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/06/2021 3:42 pm I am new, trying to figure out how to identify a legit double die. On this coin the letters look enlarged, but can that be from wear? I am also working on my coin photo skills :) Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/06/2021 6:10 pm Looks like circulation wear and extreme die wear affected your coin. There was a big push at the time to create replacements for the silver coinage at this time. (year 2) So they probably run the dies way to long on the dies that struck your coin. Note how the devices sizes are affected by die wear and the flow lines growing stronger with die aging. It is a gradual process, but knowing step by step helps us to see what I'm always talking about with die aging. Is that as bad as it gets? No. Edited by coop 02/06/2021 6:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
