I'm not seeing it, but after you research that link that was given to you, please report back with your findings.

Thar's just the problem. As compared to other 2016 cents I've looked at, it looks different. However I can't say that it looks exactly like the one you linked to. It's just too nebulous in my mind at this point. Maybe I'll get better at this. Can anyone hold my hand on this and tell me exactly how I would tell that it is not. I'm leaning toward is even after carefully comparing the photos.

For example, I think this photo just shows bad Die Deterioration,especially on the initials, but I could be totally wrong  |

It's normal. The letters are normal in size. Usually, there would be notching, extra thickness, or separation of the devices.

Gigi2, There are 9 classes of doubled dies we all need to learn: https://conecaonline.org/the-9-clas...oubled-dies/Your photo has a lot of glare on it which makes it much harder to learn because of light induced doubling. You need to filter your light first off. John1  |

The first two are cropped from images from that varietyvista link. The first one shows a T from TRUST, which is not doubled, while the second one shows a T from LIBERTY, which exhibits "Medium extra thickness on LIBERTY" according to the entry on vv. Finally, the last picture is of your T from LIBERTY. Do you see how yours is much closer to the first pic (normal) compared to the second pic (doubled)? It is subtle, but by focusing just on this one letter, I think that the doubled letter is more evident.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thanks all for helping.
Spence, your photos really showed the comparisons well and took some time to do I'm sure. An extra "thank you, thank you" to you.

Glad to help @gigi. That is literally why this site exists. And soon enough, you'll be the graybeard explaining things to the next wave of noobs.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
