curiousone1 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 11:31 pm Hello, I am not sure if this is a mint error or environmental error. I do see doubling on the date and mint and letters at the top and back. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I'm sorry about the pictures all of my gear is acting up at the moment. Please no sarcasm, I am just trying to find out. Thank you Edited by curiousone1 01/19/2023 11:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Just a spender damaged coin. Take a look at the sites to see what you should see on a doubled die. Then you will know what to look for on a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
