I received the TrueView images from my last submission...and I may have overlooked something...A possible Triple Die Obverse. I have shown this coin before as it was in a NGC MS61 holder, she crossed over at PCGS MS62. As the TrueView image is loading up, upper left hand corner is apparent first...this is when I noticed the IN GOD lettering was tripled. WE and TRUST also appear Tripled. I was just wondering if anyone else has found this on their 1892 Barber Half Dollar.
What do you think?

Looks like one to me! There is a TDR listed in Cherrypickers' for this date, FS-801.
Kind regards,
George
Olive and leaf doubling is more apparent to me.
Look at the small serifs top middle and right of W in WE, and the top of E. That looks like tripling (or at least doubling).
Kind regards,
George
I say yes. Not as pronounced as FS-801, but I definitely see it. Nice catch!

Yes....I see it very nicely!
Looking that close what I see right away is the scratch or is it a die break?
Scratch, Die breaks are often squiggly. Scratches are dark, usually straight and INTO the surface.
Here is the full coin image.

Took me forever, but I agree, TDO

It is there.... under the full magnification.... hard to see otherwise. Cheers, RickO
I reached out to the BCCS to inquire about this potential variety, and it was verified (as much as you can with an image) that it is a TDO. From previous experience with our host, unless it is in the CPG, Barber variety coins would be designated "MINOR VARIETY", although...the Quarterly Special is Variety Attribution at $12 in addition to other fees like reholdering and return shipping.

Some grading services just put TDO on these. Want to see more, they are all over the commemorative series - especially the Oregon's.
Sure enough @Insider2 , my San Diego commemorative is labeled as such "QDO - Minor Variety".

TDO or not, that's a helluva coin.
