Bottleguy Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 09/15/2007 9:25 pm But it isn't, yet...... With this kind of doubling, there should be a VAM listed for this 1881-CC. I've looked at a few others and some have it, most don't. Maybe it's just machine-doubling, but it sure looks like the guy who punched the letters into a master die got a little "heavy handed". Whadda' ya' think? Thanks, Rick Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 09/15/2007 9:46 pm Hi Bottleguy I agree with Bryan,, your coin would be considered a LDS and the doubling is a result of Die Deterioration . at least that is my opinion on it . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
