A picture is only worth a thousand words, heres a few: You can see the doubling on pretty much all the lettering on the reverse side as well as the lincoln memorial. I didn't spot anything on the obverse but posted the pics anyway. I appreciate any input and what would you suggest I do with it? Thanks Ruben Edited by Ru1984 06/26/2015 03:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

If it was double struck, you would be able to see it on both sides of the coin. Now, if you are talking a bout a doubled die That would be different. A doubled die can be on the reverse, the obverse, or both. with just split plating. sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

I see, I honestly did think it was just on one side only. You learn something new everyday like the saying goes. Do you suggest I hold on to it in case it might have some value in the future? Thanks for the input fellas Ruben Report this Post to the Staff
