Mooseyking New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 07/28/2025 7:08 pm Thanks for the insight. Unfortunately my microscope cannot zoom out far enough to get the full coin. This is as far zoomed out as it goes. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73798 Posts	Posted 07/28/2025 7:27 pm What you're seeing is Die Deterioration Doubling. It caused by worn dies. The die that struck the obverse of your coin was starting to wear out from use. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 07/28/2025 10:19 pm agreed looks like DDD. I also note that more and more users are starting to post only partial coin images. It is preferable that we see the entire coin as well when posting up coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10491 Posts	Posted 07/29/2025 12:50 am Well at least now you know what Die Deterioration looks like - the letter seem to "stretch" towards the rim because that is the way the metal flows during striking - from the center of the coin, radially towards the rim because dies have a slight curvature to them.
