CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 12:19 am Look at the bottom of the E in UNITED, Mdnyte. See how reduced it is by the doubling? It's MD. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 05:08 am I am not seeing any doubling at all. Have you check to see if it's copper? Your pics are a little out of focus and pixalated Just so you know. Can you filter the light any,that would help also? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 05:34 am Dies in this era were used till they literally fell apart . Your coin looks to have been struck by dies that were early in there working life and struck your coin well. That in and of itself can make the design details of a coin stand out in an unusual way compared to others of the same date. Coins like this are the ones I look for and keep in my reference date sets so if I ever question what I see on any coin in the future I will have a excellent example to refer back to.

Mdnyte Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 6:59 pm Thank you everyone... Coop so when you say the obverse Is an earlier die state would there be any value or would you keep it just to compare in the future? Thank you also by the way... Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 8:31 pm Sorry for my incorrect opinion. I guess the coin is so shiny it looked to me like doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 11:39 pm The reverse die is in the MDS/LDS die state. The obverse is EMDS. These coins look so good compared with the later die states, the camera just makes them smile better. Report this Post to the Staff
