can a abraid die give a coin the appearance of doubled die

What I could find on this was that it would leave serrated look on the edges.
I found this anomaly on a 1966 at fist sight I thought that it was a VLDS Very late die stage DDO. But looking closer and noticing how much abrasion that's taken place I am curious is this a combination of Die deterioration combined with.
Thanks.

Not often a die makes it that far without cracking :LOL_Hair: Heavy abrasion and die wear is what I believe... Some of the lettering hs worn really thin such as the E of WE... I also look at the VDB... I have seen some on the old style bust (VDB located on the end of the bust) that half or less of the VDB remains!!!

I wouldn't agree with abrasion being a culprit here. It looks like a striking issue, something like a partially filled die and maybe some die deterioration.

I was way off the mark... Thanks Bob!!!

Thanks! This is one I never seen before. It also has a peg leg on the one.

The letters are affected by machine doubling (slide doubling subtype). The intentional die abrasion is unrelated. It's doubtful that die abrasion is EVER responsible for doubling. The category of abrasion doubling has essentially been debunked.

Cool... Thanks Mike Diamond for the heads up!!!
