There have been doubled dies past '89 - they are just not as prevalent since the mint started the 'single squeeze' method to the dies. That may be over-simplifying (and I'm not 100% on the year they started with it) but I'm sure I'll be corrected if it's wrong.

There's been extra trees on State Quarters, extra fingers on Lincoln's hands, etc. No doubt there is a possibility for an extra eye/lid. To me it looks like a well-placed die chip, as the curvature is slightly different, but then I'm not an expert on these. Mike Diamond and Bill (foundinrolls) do go through these posts so just have a little patience - I'm sure one or both will pop in here soon.

Thanks xshift. I know about the trees, and fingers, etc. I was asking about doubled dies on Roosevelts past '89. That's the last listing on CONECA's website, and I can't find anything past that anywhere.

The doubling is flat, pushed from Machine Doubling damage during the strike.

I had Ken Potter look at this thread and he said he thought it was a possible doubled die. I would think he would have chimed in with MD if it were as obvious to him. Not arguing with anyone, I respect the opinions of a lot of you who have responded, as well as Ken's. I'm just saying I'm not sure what to think.

I was originally leaning toward MD, but with mixed responses coupled with the fact that I can't seem to get a pic that does everyone justice, I just don't know what to do with it.

I guess I'll wait until May and send it to Ken, which is when he expects to be back in the saddle.

What I see from left to right is Machine Doubling. But from south to north it appears you may have a second eyelid. That would be consistent with a doubled die. While it is possible to have Machine Doubling in two or even three different directions on a coin, the second eyelid doesn't look like Machine Doubling. It's possible that you have a combination of Machine Doubling and a bona fide doubled die. But any secure determination would require a personal examination.

Could you tell me how to go about getting it to you? Or e-mail me a link or details? I couldn't find any info on the website on how to submit.

If I could just get someone to tell me where and how to send it!

I've asked this multiple times with no response.

Scooby.. try here: http://conecaonline.org/attribution_services.html - I've never sent anything in but Mike D is the President of CONECA, so that's where I went a-searchin'

Get Mr. Diamond's email from here: http://conecaonline.org/content/con...aminers.html (according to instructions on the Examinations page) and ask him if he's available, then if he is, just follow the rest of the instructions. Good luck and keep us posted!

Anyway, e-mails fired, I'll keep you posted!

Well, finish your popcorn and let this thread die. Here is the response I got from James Wiles:

"The east-west is MDD and the North is part of the normal design. No need to pay to have this attributed.
Thanks,
James Wiles"

Oh well, the search continues.
