I am new to the forum, so if I sound inexperienced, it is because I am. I just found this coin in my change and noticed that it was struck off center and has a slight ridge as though it were stamped twice. Also the bottom left portion of the G in "GOD" has rounding, doubling around Roosevelt, and doubling in the lettering on the back of it. I know a little bit about doubling and would like to know what this would be classified as. I don't have the best camera so I will try and put better pictures up. Thanks!

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 11:53 pm You have a rim all the way around, so I dont think it is an off center. I think it may be that the collar didnt make it around the edge of the coin either at all or too late (I cant remember the proper term for this to save my life) and you got some metal squishing out the edge. Is the edge completely reeded like it should be? Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 11:55 pm I agree with the (very)slight off centered but can not see any doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
sehawf New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 12:01 am It is reeded all of the way around. I am starting to think that the doubling is very minor or if it would even be considered doubling at all and it is just a really hard strike or something if that is even possible.

PlumCrazy814 Pillar of the Community United States 883 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 01:14 am I used to find a lot of these when searching during this era. I think they are interesting. No real clue what causes this but I never found doubling. I just thought they were off center but no one seemed too interested. I still kept some of them. Report this Post to the Staff
