is what im seeing here just MD or a tired die. I only see it in WAR, IN THE towards the top . that's about it thanks?
On a coin with raised lettering, split serifs would be an indication of a doubled die. But on incuse lettering it is just the opposite and indicates mechanical doubling. If you think about how the doubled image is formed on a doubled die, and what would happen when the raised lettering on the coinage die shifts during the strike you'll understand why.
