BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 9:30 pm It seems too flat. That is, the 2nd strike (the off-center one) doesn't seem to have flattened part of the first one. (Maybe I'm just a Doubting You-no-who). Edited by BillSnyder 04/06/2015 9:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 10:03 pm The second strike, It just looks too weak. I think maybe it was a victim of fake die that struck the coin with too little pleasure. Is it in a slab? Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 12:13 am There was a seller from Malaysia that unloaded a handful fake double strikes like this on ebay between 3 and 4 years ago. They also had some Vickies, but most were 1920/21 Geo V 50 cent pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
