I've had this for awhile, and I just got around to really taking a look at it. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but it looks to me like DDO-003, 3-O-VIII... But could be MD? What do you guys think?

Might check the edge and diameter all around for anything out of the ordinary. Thanks, Doug.

RockinRohin,

When you think you have found a doubled die you need to check these three sites every time and then come here to CCF for confirmation: http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php

http://doubleddie.com/

These are common striking events. Post strike, the damage happens because of the machine looseness of the dies. So it is altered it less than the second it took to be struck. No premium for these.

Thanks for the input, I did check those sites before I posted here, but still wasn't sure.

Also this coin is 19.2 mm in diameter, 1.7 mm thick and weighs 3.15g... which is a little large right?

Does that change anything?

Weight should be 3.1 +/- .12.

Ok, how about the diameter and thickness? Is there an acceptable variance limit for those? Only asking because I really don't know.

All are in the permitted parameters. The thickness is took with a Micrometer and not with a caliper.

Your coin is SD ( Strike Doubling) due to the age of the Die. No error or variety here.

Seems a bit out of tolerance. Seeing the double rim on both obverse and reverse with the spread in opposite directions. Makes me ponder about Wide Collar issues. Thanks, Doug.

I recommend that all the words you used in your title you look up in the CCF glossary and learn what they mean. It will give you a better understanding what these terms mean instead of shooting in the dark.

Some Machine Doubling noted, but that's about it.
ça va bien aller
