    Welcome to the forums
    What do you see as an error, please be explicit when asking a question.
    All I can see is some Die Deterioration Doubling, another worthless type of doubling.
    Also please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see detail.

    Will do and thanks. The UNUM all letters looked stretched. I don't see damage at the lettering and wondering why lettering looked to be stretched.

    “The UNUM all letters looked stretched”
    That is caused by DDD, the die gets worn and the metal flows over the edge towards the rim instead of into the cavity causing the stretched letter look.
