    The famous "smooshed" date. Don't think anything other than PMD, but wait for someone who knows something.

    Nope,nothing special besides some minor die chips around the date/MM.This certain anomaly behind the mint mark did catch my eye but it's probably nothing. Screenshot_20230316_171002_Chrome.jpg

    Thought maybe we were going to see a "Don Jose" variety like the "San Jose" variety.
    Where the J-shaped break on the right side of the mintmark makes it look like letters SJ.

    The date and mint mark took a hit and got flattened. A few very minor die chips.

    Die deterioration doubling. Notice " Liberty" pushed up to the perimeter edge and its flattened doubling appearance. IMO, Jim

    Die detorization must be real common since every time a change millionaire posts some change people say that about it.

    You're looking way too hard at this and convincing yourself something is there.

    Die deterioration is common in frequency as dies start to spread outward ( best guess after about quarter to half million produced coins or more~ soft cents more than harder dimes, nickles, etc). it is just many, many times more common than true doubled die coins as modern mint processes usually detect them and not allow them out of the mint. Single squeeze processes should eliminate them in theory, but they do occur. IMO, Jim
