    Need Help With This 1992 P

    I found this 1992P in a $50 bag (first time I've purchased more than a couple single rolls from the bank). I've gone through several 1992's so far, but this one caught my eye. On the reverse, there seems to be an extra something that runs diagonally from the leg on the left side of the Memorial. It's probably nothing special, but I've not seen it on any of the other 1992's I've seen so far, and I don't see anything listed on CC, VV or Wexler's. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

      Thanks Jon. I'm clueless but it sure doesn't seem to be part of the design. Thanks for taking a look!

            I left out the second part, "... none of which will ever be of any importance. "

              Because?? Even a little elucidation would be helpful. Do I need to send you some cookies or something?

                Cookies won't make a dent...
                Well, maybe not normal cookies anyway.

                  Maybe a bottle of Jack Daniel's would do the trick. Made in Tennessee....southern charm in a bottle.

                    That may be a DDR similar to Wexlers 001 but I am not 100% sure??? On yours there appears to be a trough running from the shoulder to the end of the anomaly??? Whatever made that trough could have displaced metal???

                      Thank you Jim for checking on this thread for Rowdy, I was wondering where it was going.

                        Thanks for taking a look, Jim. I see what you're talking about and that makes sense to me. To be honest, though, I'm still having a hard time understanding doubled dies in that area (extra knees, legs, etc) anyway. I'm sure there must be a legitimate and easy-to-understand explanation, but I haven't found it yet. How do you get an extra eyelid without the whole bust being doubled...or an ear? Doubling of just tiny portions of a device, at this point, makes no sense to me. That's why I asked for a little elucidation in an earlier post.

                          Rowdy, I'm not good at explaining technical stuff, but the devices in the center are doubled because the die blanks are cone-shaped. Here is what they look like.

                            I prefer bourbon, and please don't be one of those people that says JD is bourbon or I'm not going to like you anymore. as for the coin, it could be a plating blister, or die damage, or I guess it is remotely possible it is a "class 9" rotated, but I don't like the look of it for that. Like I said, in my opinion, there's nothing to really hang your hat on here, but one of the attributors may see it differently. For starters, you'll have to find another one. Now, where are my cookies?

                              Thanks for that link, Viv. I did a brief read-through, but it will require more than that. I'm a little slow sometimes. I probably need to print it and spend some time on it.

                              Oh, hell-o NO! Who in their right mind would ever call JD anything but Tennessee Whiskey? I really don't think it's a plating blister, but I could be wrong. I looked at it again after Jim posted and it does seem like something was pressed into it from the shoulder to the the base of the statue effectively splitting the base and leaving that distracting anomaly. Now, tell me...what kind of cookies do you prefer?
