I think that coin is known as the "poor mans doubled die 55" variety. wait for more experienced opinions...

 

Ok, thank you. But in this case it would be "poor woman"

 

Also called a poormans double die.

 

Would it surprise you to know that we actually have some male members who use female usernames and vice versa?

Die fatigue doubling. As dies wear out, they sometimes develop what looks like doubling around certain design elements.

No

 

This is all true. I just want to add that the deteriorated die forces the metal outward towards the rim. Hope this helps.

 

I backed off of saying that, because on Morgan dollars, it appears that die fatigue doubling shows up on Liberty's ear. For the most part, however, this sort of doubling shows up close to the rim.

 

I didn't know that. I don't know much about Morgan dollars. I learned something today.

 

So that is why she doesn't have pierced ears!

IMO it appears to be DDD JMHO
