Titles are Important! * Just came across this one..looks like some type of doubling on the "5" and possibly very very slight behind the "9"? Your input and thoughts are very appreciated! Thanks all! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 12:08 am Technically, NO. The "so-called" Poorman's doubled die, is the notorious 1955P mint, where the dies were worked way past their lifetimes. The "doubling" you see on your coin is actually a bit of Die Deterioration beginning. It's effects of metal movement are motion towards the outside Edited by Crazyb0 07/04/2018 12:12 am Report this Post to the Staff

OP's coin, however, doesn't show the familiar doubling from wear.
