Milad_so7575 New Member 45 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 04:14 am Thank you for the fast response, I will definitely upload more photos tomorrow once I get my micro camera from the storage. Here is the thing, The L in Liberty completely attached to the rim, the I shows doubling similar to the date and the word Liberty is overall thicker, same thing with the In God We Trust. There are multiple errors on Lincoln's face and I just noticed the doubling on the reverse side of the coin! Report this Post to the Staff

Milad_so7575 New Member 45 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 04:47 am Only by looking at the rim of the coin you can see doubling on both sides of the coin. Is it even possible? I wasn't able to find any coin that's double die on both sides & Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 05:00 am . It is what is called a "poor mans" doubled die which is really a worn die. Not worth slabbing. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Milad_so7575 New Member 45 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 05:25 am Lol I know what the poor man's double die is hahaha but seriously look the photos , specially the back the doubling on the rim perfectly matches the doubling the letters, same with the front, the L disappeared!

Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 07:07 am @mil, first welcome to CCF. Second, looks to me like this coin was struck from a tired die.
