Message:: [QUOTE="i2i, post: 3459356, member: 102748"]"If the "in-collar" coin happens to rotate between strikes (or, more likely, if a loose hammer die rotates slightly between strikes) then the struck coin may receive multiple, in-collar images. The last of these multiple strikes will retain the sharpest image; with the images from the former strikes being mostly obliterated by each of the subsequent strikes. And, though it's uncommon to find a proof coin with multiple, rotated images, it does happen. Multiple images may also occur on proof coins if a loose hammer die doesn't rotate but, instead, it cants or shifts off-center. This slightly-cocked die may impart multiple, overlapping images on a proof coin - usually one-sided."-this can also occur if the coin is not set properly rather than the die.It looks like a bit of the "L" in liberty is poking through. And when I did the illustration the rim of the "R" seems to be there too? And I cant tell if there is a faint "T" between the "U" and the "S"?If you want to look closer and see? Or not?[/QUOTE]
