    1996 D L in LIBERTY

    It looks, L in LIBERTY, like a double die. The vertical of L is very thin.

    Sorry, that's a form of MD, not doubling.

      Notice how the normal width of the vertical got reduced, that's always a good clue for MD.

          Interesting to see this... the 2016 DDO I found had the exact thing, just on the L. It looks like part of the L was sheared off, but no sign of machine doubling anywhere else on the coin. Jim, you and I talked about it, remember?

            Yepper, doubling will add to the device's size, not reduce it.

                I think it's because it's so near the edge, maybe as the coin ejects, it was at an angle and that was the last spot in contact with the die and it snagged and smears it.

                  This is exactly what I would say causes the anomaly.
