I came across this in a box I was going through and thought it would be a good test of my new USB microscope. I never bought one of these, so I must have found it in circulation more than 50 years ago.

Very nice doubled die, congrats! Looks to be 003 or 008. The doubling on 003 is less dramatic on LIBERTY and is what I am leaning towards. Maybe check for some of the markers.

By the way,

Not sure, they are working for me. It's just VV if you want to pull it up directly.

Try below, but don't click the hyperlinked part, just use your mouse to select/highlight the entire text from "http" to "htm" then with it highlighted copy it and paste it into a new browser tab.
