Came upon this in my latest bag. Some of the lettering appears doubled on bottoms.



Zero of date.

Just coincidence?

It looks like it might be on the LIBERTY, but sometimes the slightest die movement flares the edges of the devices. Try turning the coin 180 degrees in the LIBERT area and see what the lower edges of the letters look like? Raised (finned) or doubled? The BE looked the most interesting.

They are finned. It's ejection doubling. Unfortunately I've seen it a thousand times or more.

Another term, I hadn't heard before: "Finned". I did not relate it to ED, but it fits. Thanks for the "?", and response!
