<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3662330, member: 15199"]It appears to me to be Die deterioration damage from overuse. The die image is slowly squeezed to the perimeters of the coin over thousands of strikes ( notice how close the letters are to the edge) The numbers do also, and starts to appear as doubled, but it is just DDM. The mintmark seems to have chips reflecting damage to the mint mark punch being worn or broken in the thinner areas. IMO, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
