The C on the reverse also shows some extra. Now I have something to put in that extra 1834 hole in my Dansco album! Also, my other small star is an N-4, so this N-3 adds a new variety.

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 11:49 am One of many descriptions; Strike Doubling - "Often looks like a doubled die but is not. It is caused by loose dies that twist slightly after coming into contact with the planchet causing the die to slightly drag on the coin producing a flat, shelf-like doubled appearance. Also under this classification is excessive die wear and/or improper die annealing that will cause the elements of the design to appear doubled simply because the lettering and design elements are thick and mushy. Mechanical Doubling usually commands very little premium." http://jimscoins.com/error_coin_examples.php Here is another; http://doubleddie.com/144822.html Edited by oih82w8 09/20/2012 11:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
