NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 03/06/2026 5:38 pm I've been sitting on this one for a while. Looks like a doubled E in LIBERTY. Doesn't match anything on Doubledie, Wex or VV. Coin is nearly MS. What do you think? Thanks! "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 03/06/2026 8:37 pm Not sure what that is, but I don't think it is a DDO. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8728 Posts	Posted 03/06/2026 9:08 pm I do not have a good or any answer at this point but would agree with Dearborn. Already, I would think this be a good one to bring Mike Diamond into. I have seen isolated Machine Doubling before, but nothing like this in the middle of a line of devices, very confusing for me, and on two opposing sides, very odd. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 03/07/2026 09:21 am I agree with the others about not being a DDO in spite of the incuse lines on the E. I'm wondering if there could be "debris", such as grease or polishing residue, inside the E causing this effect? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8728 Posts	Posted 03/07/2026 09:25 am I noticed that your Abe has the "humpback". I have found this paired with the Recurring die subsidence error (which is found on the 73D) before and wonder if the "E" anomaly is not somehow tied in with this. Your pic marked up, showing the humpback and an overlay. LINK https://www.error-ref.com/recurring...dence-error/ -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 03/07/2026 09:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
