Since the legends and date are not straight vertical, but truncated at an inward angle from the bottom so they can be struck and ejected easier, wear or a weak strike can make the tops of one you are seeing appear to be somewhat broader than the tops of others, so the difference has to be significant. However, remember it is the type 6 Doubled die that would make it thicker, not that every thicker letter/number is a type 6 double die ( actually very few are). I don&#039;t see any significant broadening of your coin.&nbsp; But the fun is in the research of how things happen .</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
