1992-P half -- odd obverse die anomalies

[port ewen ace]

1- 2 steps up from field to cheek
2- bold horizontal line along top of ear to hairline
3- "doubled" face profile from hair to nose to front of chin


the exemplar is another '92-P in similar wear condition. nothing in Wexler's about DDO's or Varieties for this issue. the main issue is the lower jaw step up

It may be a worn die chip. You have seen odd shaped chips over the years. This may be another one.

Hairline to nose doubling could simply be die chatter from deterioration.

Ear looks a lot like die doubling. Possibly. Maybe. Could also be die chatter.

If the chin is a worn chip, that could make die chatter more likely for the other two. Just my opinion.

Time for more coffee.
