      D of DEI?

      The image quality is terrible I know but unless its damage to me the 8 looks different. The  left image shows a straight sided 8 where the top and bottom loop appear mostly equal with parallel sides. (This appears be to consistantly the case for the year and die pairing) The other image on the right shows the coin in question with more slanted shape and sides. It's most likely nothing. But its a good example of a question where my own research wont provide a definitive awnser.

      Ok thanks yes I understand now, the last 1 totally out of place. I was looking for doublng or a number over a number. Here is an example of a question I cant awnser myself and I have checked all I can find with the same die pairing to see if I can see one the same. By looking at the attached image you can see the bottom loop of the 8 "appears" smaller than the top loop.

      The first three digits were already on the die, the last of the four entered manually afterwards. The spacing and positioning will sometimes appear odd, and this is not unusual. Granted though, this one is at the top end of 'odd'.
