What type of error is this?

python

Look at the E of liberty, is this a filled die?

Is there some doubling on the other letters as well, or is it just time for a new pair of glasses?

I see what you're talking about but I think it's just the toning.

It sure looks like some DD but since you didn't give us the date or MM you gotta do your own research. Check the master variety listing on this site: coneca

Python - do you have any more information on date and mint?

Die chips? Like on the dates of a lot of the wheaties from the fifties.

It's a 56, I'll post obv & rev scans. Thanks

Looks like die chips to me, also.

Thanks for that link Dog. I don't have enough time to look for the things that I already knew about
and you go and slap that on me.

I didn't see anything doubled, just a couple of die chips/breaks.

I agree; die chips, not error. I find the specimens where the "chips" have been polished away very interesting. I actually like to collect coins with evidence of "human" intervention, if you will; reminds me that someone is actually monitoring the quality of the product and not merely watching a blank go in and a coin come out.

python

Thanks, I obviously don't know much about these things.

Look at his first picts guys. There's something going on with the right side of the I (looks like machine ) but the bottom loop of the B and the E looks like genuine doubling.

When you have genuine doubling, doesn't the doubling have to go in the same direction?

Looks like minor machine doubling on the I. Still looks like die chips on the E.
