Is this a double die coin? Doubling mostly on reverse. One or two letters on obverse.

Thanks.

The doubling is flat, shelf like, and the size of the devices (thickneses) is reduced. Typical Machine Doubling (MD) aused by a "bounce" of the dies when making the coin. This is common, not a doubled die, and therefore no extra value. Keep looking!

I agree... Machine Doubling.

I wish I had a cent for every MD coin I thought was possibly a double die... Oh wait I did!

It takes sometime, but once you learn to see the difference it gets easier.
