Hi all , Kind of a neat find in my Daughters coin jug. On this 1995  we have a bit of a offset strike and the letters got stretched out on the high spot . It makes the letters look like they have horns. The S has a split serif like a DD. It also caused the same effect on the reverse. No match ups on Variety Vista but I wanted to post it and see if anyone knows if there is a particular name for this type of strike.

I believe a worn die created this look.

Thank you for your input Idhair. I have seen this before on other coins and I agree it is a worn die. I was just wondering if anyone had maybe seen a reference or a name for it. I guess we will just call it what it is, Die Deterioration. Thanks
