So much to learn, so little time!

This looks like an accented hair to my eyes but the "I" has both lower serifs.... I thought that the left lower serif was always missing.. Is this an accented hair?
thanks,

    I don’t think yours is an accent hair, no “wishbone” above the ear. Here’s a side by side comparison

    Nice DMPL but that does not answer my question.

    No, look at the base of the I in LIBERTY.

    Thanks guys, my mind just couldn't wrap around a new die variety.... My original assessment was correct.

    I can see why you asked. Yours does appear to have more hair details than the non-accent hair example that jesbroken posted. But not quite as deep and curved of a wishbone shape as an accent hair. Maybe it’s better struck than usual or something like that 🤔

    In addition to the differences already mentioned, my recollection is that the sideburn is noticeably less detailed on the Accented Hair examples - at least the ones I remember having seen.

    @AUandAG... Definitely not the Accented Hair Kennedy.... Details to verify are well covered above. Cheers, RickO
