  Don't know.....don't have the coin in hand. Have to go by the pic. Looks like there could be on at the top of the "N", but that could be a tiny hit?

  The nine, four and two look pretty smashed.

  Based on the photo, which is
  
  very 'white' and has little contrast,
  
  I'd say it's mechanical/ejection doubling.

  imo, the stuff at the lower/upper lip areas is light refraction/overexposure.
  
  
  
  possibly the motto too. could be some m.d. as well.
  
  
  
  either way, no true ddo that coneca would list.
  
  
  
  hope i am partly wrong though.

  I think there is definite doubling on the lips and "TRUST", but it is probably machine like Fred and the others have said. It looks neat though.
