JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 6:22 pm The letters being close to the rim was normal up until 1969 when they made a new master die. I don't see any Doubling from pictures supplied. Please supply a closeup of that area. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 6:31 pm Note the shape of the 'L'? If is flat on the top of that device. Thus looking more like coin contact or a Struck Through Grease error. No premium for either. The location closer to the rim can be a die wear issue or a spread on the master hub. So it if is seen on all the dies that year, then it is common for that year. So looking a three other examples for that year, it is a common die issue for that year. So no premium for your coin from I can see on the images. Report this Post to the Staff
