Seems to me that raised lettering on the die would wear down rather quickly. Is that what I'm seeing on this coin ?

Good question! I noticed the "new style" of the lettering, and frankly, don't care for it, but I am only one. There are several theories that could apply, but the "deed is done",and will continue to be done, I guess.
Looks likt the FY is going to be another "Minnesota quarter type" coin. I think there are at least 35 dies, so fat, identified, or at least 35 new listings. the next in the series, with "all that lettering" should really make a splash"!

I am relatively certain that what you are seeing there is not hub doubling, but I kind of doubt it's die wear too. It could have something to do with the 'ghost doubling' seen on some other coins when they are hammer struck with excessive pressure. Not sure though.
