A very nice example of Machine Doubling. Notice how it is flat and shelf-like and not actually the doubling of the character itself. It kind of steps down.

I keep some of the better machine doubled coins, too! Although there is no premium attached, I still have a hard time releasing them back into the wild, unless they are really minor.

If you like 'em - collect 'em!

I can't let go of this one! haha Sad part is I have tons of crazy little varieties such as this that I just can't part with! I just began looking at coins and have really become addicted to it. I empty my family's pockets for change everyday!

Just to clarify, this is not a variety. If you have a few minutes I would highly recommend reading this:

Thank Chuck from coppercoins the next time you see him. I thought it was very generous on his part to take the time to write that.
