Hello,

It looks like on the obverse DDO? You can make out the G especially on the top right side separation? and the O? its hard to tell on the other letter but it can be. The date on the 4 you can tell its thicker and kind of make out that it is separating too. Maybe on reverse on plaribus? Not sure. Thanks!

Looks pretty normal. Not seeing any doubling or extra thickness. Just seeing some circulation flattening.

You don't see the extra thickness on the G on the right top and lower? 1st pic? You can see the split on the top of G?

I don't think that's extra thickness. I also don't think that's a split either. I'm going with circulation flattening. I could be wrong, but that's just my opinion.

I'm thinking circulation flattening, or possibly a worn die issue. Machine Doubling on the date? If I had the coin in-hand to examine I might see things differently.

That's a pretty deep belly on the U of Trust. But those steel cent dies wore pretty hard.
