mamallama New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 02/11/2018 10:51 pm I didn't include the type of coin as I simply wanted an opinion on the possible doubling. As you can see I didn't add a picture of the whole coin either. I will take note to add all the details in the title. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/12/2018 01:32 am Identifying the coin in the title makes it much easier for interested people and experts to find locate your question. With this coin, you have what Crazyb0 said, split-plate doubling. The thin copper plating reached its stress point during the strike because of being too thin or too much pressure in the strike. When it splits, it does so in the shape of nearby devices (if any). That's why it looks "doubled". The grey color is a dead giveaway because that is the exposed zinc core.
