Swollen up bottom of U and S?

What makes this happen? The bottom of the U and the S seem swollen, the U more so.

A well struck coin and I think an EDS (Early Die State) example.
It seems to have thickness on the tail of the 9 and the right side of the curve of the 6. thickness but no "Ski" ramp on the bottom foot of the E of WE.
Well, I'm thinking a class 6 DDO, but can't find anything listed on VV or CC.


EDIT: Nothing similar on Doubleddies.com either.
There appears to be separation on the top of bot bars of T on TRUST.
Can you get closeup images of both T's?

Let's see what others see/think.

At least get full obverse and reverse images. They are helpful as well.

Thanks Dearing but these are a little out of focus.
Can you try with the light coming from a different angle to show the bottoms of the horizontal bars of the T's of TRUST?

Thanks. You may have something there.
We'll have to wait for others to chime in.

Cool, thank you

I wouldn't doubt that it may be a DDO.

Not much listed for 62-D but tons of stuff on the proofs. the dies were probably all made in P so it figures some D mint DDOs might be around. Maybe unlisted. Maybe a class 6 or it has a mix, it looks mostly like a shift toward the rim like the horizontal stuff got wider than vertical stuff.

One suggestion for your posts, Dearing, is to add the year of the coin in question to the title, so it can be found easier with a search.

Ok, thank you

Nice looking 62D... Pics are good for a fone... I am not sure it is a DDO tho??? Looks like it is die wear related... The field on the obv appears to ramp up toward the rim... The VDB looks worn down leaving only the top half of the letters??? The obv looks miss aligned in the same direction as the slight bulges on the 9 and 6 to the SE... It begins near the R in TRUST CW to just south of the L in LIBERTY... The rev die looks to be an earlier die stage than the obv... It is also slightly miss aligned mostly to the N which would be S on the obv... The thinned rim begins near the D of UNITED CW to near the I in AMERICA... Is that a crack on the obv??? It begins at the rim near the S of TRUST meanders to the 2nd T down towards Abes nose/chin out into the field then curves back around to the jacket west of the 1???

After looking at what's posted, I am not convinced it is a doubled die. The anomalies you point out are substantial fro the U and S, but everything around it is not affected. Doubled dies don't work like that. In addition, the top of the S should have the same amount of extra thickness.
As far as what caused it...I don't know but I do know it is not a doubled die.
