Mike, that is what I call "flat-field-doubling. it is not hub-doubling. Notice the same shift id visible on the date, AND the MM? That is a dead give-away got this type, of effect. I don't think it can be called MD, per se, but the effect is the same.

Mike, I think MDIA1@aol.com, could answer that, much better than I. I don't remember if it was Mike Diamond, or maybe Ken Potter, but someone mentioned it, and it just "stuck". It is a form of DDD, die deterioration doubling, I think.

This isn't flat field doubling, it's die wear. Those sunken in shadows next to digits are always die wear.

Chuck, while we are on it, is there such a thing as,"flat-field-doubling", as I have referred to? And if so, what is it exactly, and what causes it? Thanks,
Dick

well does die wear add any value to a coin
does it make a coin a "keeper" for it being different
does I don't know, I don't have a clue

Die wear.
It's on many coins. I find it like that most often on anything from 82-mid 90s. It might be because the zinc caused that sort of die wear to happen faster.

Mike, I agree with Ed, and the info given. In answer to your question re imcreased valuw, in a word: no. It is used by the sellers wth few, if any ascruples to cheat the unwary buyer, putting it candidly.
