<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1896075, member: 30970&quot;]Seeing LIBERTY, it definitely looks like circulation damage. Metal is very very malleable, especially copper. Consistent damage can definitely produce the effect that you see. The metal has been spread and looks flattened...not in the sense of the flatness you see in MD, but that the metal has spread thinner as it spreads out. This is definitely apparent on the date. The letters may be wider, but they do not demonstrate the same extra thickness of a class VI doubled die. Re-read Jody&#039;s post and try to understand the relationship between extra thickness width-wise and extra thickness in elevation from the coin. Your coin is extra thick wigth-wise, but the design has a lower &quot;elevation&quot; than normal, indicating that the extra thickness comes from the coin being flattened, post-mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
