As the arrows show there are several letters that appear doubled as well parts of the building. I'm really hoping this one is legit because it's a significant amount. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 1:36 pm After the strike there was a high bounce of the dies that hit the fresh ones and damaging them before they even got out of the chamber. This is very common and has no premium for them. New collectors buy these and later one they told they are just coin damage after the strike, and get mad. Note they are all on the same locations. On the outside edges of the devices. A doubled die is show a spread on the centers of the devices. Note where the spread is on the lower image? They are in the centers of the devices, enlarging the devices. Also not the closed devices, the opening are smaller than the normal coins devices.
