I suspect die deterioration myself. No double die.
Machine doubling would not produce the effect in all 4 directions as ( for instance) in the "U". The appearance of doubling top, bottom, left ,...
It is from a die clash, and caused by the top of liberty head on the obverse die about under the "R" in Liberty hitting the reverse die. Pretty...
Mercury in the liquid elemental form is not near as dangerous as in the combined or vaporous form. You want to see some mental mercury toxicity,...
I do not believe it is the -001 variety either. That one has a projection like a rhino horn over the left upper part of where an "S" curve was. It...

The loop of the 9 convince me towards MD. If it was a DD, the die depth ( height )of the "doubled" part would be about the same as the "Real" part...
Looks like a 1981 that was struck through something, maybe a workers smock sleeve, or a white mouse?? Jim
Thank you for the comment, although I doubt very much it is true. I did not figure on the collapse ( or correction if one prefers) of silver to...
Usually when someone says "long term investment", they mean "something that makes money and I don't have to pay attention to it" which usually...
Welcome to the forum! I do recall seeing those in advertisements years ago, but there weren't many sets offered, so it is a very nice addition....
