| There are collectors who seek out such coins to add to their collections. If you like it, keep it for your collection. If not, consider selling it on EBay. Check out other toned coin listings there to get an idea as to value. |

Hmmm....
Does a "crack" continue down both edges in line with the one on the obverse?
Yes, Petespockets55. Actually, there are two small cracks emanating from the edges at both the K-10 and the K-4 areas. And then each of these 2 cracks merge into one bisecting crack. |

Coop, thanks for following up. Your response raises more questions.
The scenario you pose is based upon the assumption that there was a die polishing event that resulted in the alteration to the image of the Bowtie on this coin. What evidence can you point to on the coin that this is indeed a later stage die that merited a polishing and created an alteration of the device (the bowtie) at the Mint?
Also, you have not addressed the ERTY doubling in LIBERTY. Is this hub doubling, or the result of polishing?

Thanks Coop and Dearborn for your input.
Coop, could you elaborate further on the die polishing issue you mention?
Specifically, are you saying the coin on the right of the side-by-sides (the 1995 PCGS coin) has been weakened by die polishing? If so, you are saying the subject coin (on the left) is an earlier die stage coin, and that's why we see the detail on the eye as compared to the later die stage coin on the right?
If that's the case, what's the explanation for the doubled area on the lips and beard on the subject coin, which is an early die stage? That would have nothing to do with a die polishing, correct? (Later die stage coins arguably had this doubling removed, if I understand your explanation),
Dearborn, I utilized indirect lighting from all sides for the photography--but I'll see if I can post some better photos of the beard and lips area when I have an opportunity later. |

Makecents, thanks for the images. I'm very familiar with this series of this LMC. But, looking at the side-by-sides you provided, to me it just confirms that there is doubling.
1)The beard---there is clearly a separation and spread in the beard South of the lips that juts out.
2)The lips--there is a spread outward that resembles the "hot lips" varieties that have been noteworthy for doubling on some years of the Roosevelt dimes.
3)The eye---there is an image of a lens East of the eye socket---arguably doubling--that's not evident on a "normal" coin.
4) The forehead--there is a spread of the profile East not seen on a "normal" coin.
