    Didn't see this listed anywhere, but this certainly looks like doubling on the L and I. The top of the I looks to be split.

    It isn't hub doubling, but MD. If the working die is hubbed the first time, the thickness of the letter would be normal, but if when hubbed the second time was slightly moved, you would have hub doubled die, but the second hubbing would be full size, whereas if it overlapped the first hubbing , then the total width would be : hubbing 2 ( full size) +_hubbing one ( partial, because the other part is under hubbing 2) = greater than one thickness. Yours looks like the separation line runs down the middle, and each side is about the same width, so it was a normal letter, but the working die moved during the strike and made some MD, with the beginning of the movement being the separation line. Same on the L and I.

    Thanks for the explanation. That certainly seems like what it is.
