One of the hubbings was rotated CW on all the letters around the rim causing some of the letters to show tripling. N/S die scratch through the first U of PLURIBUS. Die scratch NE from the right center of the D in UNITED to the rim. Die scratches NE from the E of ONE to the torch base. WNW/WSE die scratches through the NUM of UNUM.
