I don't know about the metal loss, but the doubling isn't anything. It's Die Deterioration, just old and tired. |

That is a rim clip with a small blakesley effect.

But DD and MD can't cause the splits seen on the S and T of cents. Here is a older thread explaining the exact error http://goccf.com/t/409462 |

Those, to me, aren't split serifs. Usually those show up with large gaps, but if the error guys think it is, then it is, but there's got to be hundreds of thousands of them or millions..

Unfortunately this is a form a Master Die Doubling, I discovered this a couple of months ago and upon further research deemed it as unfortunately being common.
As for the whole split serifs dilemma, they my not be technically "serifs" in the world of correct font descriptions, however it is a widely accepted term used by hundreds, if not thousands of collectors who are explaining where the splitting/spread has taken place.
When you say "serif" folks almost instantly know exactly where to look, so it stuck.

Thanks John Wayne, yea I find the 1967 quarter and 1967 dollar has MDD as well as 67, 66, and 65 dollars all have obverse master die doubling. Something about those years.
