By accident, I thought I saw something in one of my pics. of this coin, so I enlarged it. See pics.

something...

 

I have no idea with those thumbnail photos.

 

The issues are only visible under mag.

 

MD AT THE BOTTOM

 

Miss-aligned die? What accounts for the strange lettering below one dollar?

 

I can't tell as I stated earlier. If you could blow up the photos and post full size ones that would help. My best quess at this point is it is a die clash.

 

There is a problem with resolution. It's the best I can do.

 

MD is Machine Doubling which is due to a loose die moving at the time of the strike and giving a slight shelf doubling look to some of the devices.

 

What I can see in not MD but it appears to be below the letters DO and the very edge of L in DOLLAR.

 

You are correct Sir.

 

It looks like a case of pareidolia to me. ~ Chris

 

I wonder when "one" would make it's presence known and here we have Mr. Rorschach. Serious comments please.

 

Serious comment, you have some disturbance in the surface of the coin from some unknown cause which doesn't appear to be due to the mint and you are trying to see the bunny rabbit in the clouds.

 

Die Clash? I had to look in the mirror and stand on my head... but is that where Pluribus would be (backwards)? Cant recall ever hearing of only that clash mark.

 

That would be correct but it's just my quess as I can't see the coin that good in that area.
