Geez this working for a living is really beginning to interfere with Variety searching Anyway is this just Die Deterioration or Machine Doubling on the "D"?
I've always viewed them a ejection doubling/machine doubling as the marks on the West side of the mint mark has the lines that flow from the field to the left side of the mint mark. If you don't see anything else on the coin that copies that I would guess the first one I mentioned. If you see it on other areas of the coin then it would be machine doubling. But this usually just affects the mint mark with the lines on the west edge. I find it distracting, but useless to the coin. It detracts the eye to something that is nothing in my opinion. _________________ Richard S. Cooper
