    ALASKA CLAW ERROR - revisit

    Referenced to the post dated 04/12/2010, the conclusion was it cound be
    a gouge or dent.

    Is it also possible it can be a real tilted doubled finger?

    If there are different types of claw doublings that can be found (specifically between those 4th and 5th claws), would those support a potential DD?

    Or would those different doublings still support a gouge or dent theory?

    Thank you.

    Have attached photos of 2 types of extra claws and their conditions that
    may demonstrate that they maybe doublings instead of resultants from dents/gouges.

    Let me know your thoughts. Thanks...NVTE

      This is no way constitutes a doubled die. These are die chips, nothing more, nothing less.

      Whenever a design element or parts of the same design element are place with little separation between each other, this die chipping usually occurs. This was a common problem when the letters in LIBERTY were spaced to close to each other. This created the "BIE" error and other variations of die chips between the lettering of LIBERTY.
