whatskraken83 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/22/2025 7:34 pm Hello, Can't figure out what type of error this is. The "I" in Liberty and last "5" of 1955 look to be doubled, but I'm 99.9% positive this isn't the case. The reverse looks to be at least AU, but that doesn't match the obverse in any way. Any help with error designation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 06/22/2025 7:45 pm What you have is extreme Die Deterioration and deterioration doubling. It also looks like your coin may have been previously encased or in a bezel. https://www.error-ref.com/die-deter...ling-raised/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
