[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3957612, member: 66"]The motto is a combination of Longacre doubling and crumbling of the die around the lettering not a DDO. The key that the lower part is showing Machine doubling is that the lower portion of the shield and the date both show the same doubling in the same direction and magnitude.
