A new photo of a coin I've had several years. I wanted to use my new setup to capture some details.

This 4 Centimos is single-year issue. Even with some wear, it's an attractive coin.

But it's not just a nice coin of a rather high mintage (6.25M from Heaton)--it's also a doubled die and the earliest known trail dies too.

Below is a new pic of the doubling in the legend and the trail dies (white arrows) The black arrows show the doubled die.
I have looked for years for a match--with no luck. Perhaps you'll find one?

But I think the best doubling is in the date. While most dates from this period were later added to the die, this one is hubbed...probably because it's a single year issue.
