Been taking pictures of my collection and forgot how much I liked this coin. I found it in a 1953 BU roll I purchased which also came with some hangers and double hangers. Hard to take a picture but you really see it on the 9 in the close up image.

Enjoy:

A very nice coin. As far as I know, this doubling only occurs in the NSF strikes. I have one in ICCS MS-65, took me forever to find it. You sometimes see them in ICCS MS-63 and MS-64 holders on ebay.

Alan Hagar (currently known as gotthecoin on ebay) tried to sell some at inflated prices about 3 years ago... you see less of them now in mint state condition.

Thanks SPP, I'm unsure on the grade of this coin but for $4.00 I can't really lose :). I was selling them on ebay Raw for $20.
