[QUOTE="Morgan, post: 79656, member: 3630"]I would have to vote for a die or hib doubling of some sort. Mabey the die was hub by two different dies? My reasoning is as follows. Mercury dimes are the same size as Roosevelts, SMALL. The shelving that eveyone is reffering to is only shown on the one letter. For a peice of the die to rotate only at that one letter the die would have had to have been remove from all but that one letter then it was shifted which would give a different shift pattern. It would look kinda like an inclided plane next to the letter. The other possibility is that only the area around the "B" moved, but thats physically impossible. I'd have to say that the coin requires a closer inspection for a definative conclusion to be achieved. I do not see how a coin can be mechanically doubled in only one very small area. rwages- Can you post a close up of the "E". I think there may be more going on at that letter and it's photo may help.[/QUOTE]
