foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/20/2008 02:31 am Hi, It is a coin struck by a worn die and there may be some areas where the copper plating has been compromised during the strike. That would allow the zinc core to be exposed. It is hard to tell for sure with the picture as far as the above but it is easy to see that it is not a doubled die. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
numismaniac64 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 06/20/2008 04:48 am Thanks Bill! Being that this is a scan, do you think that an actual photo would give a better visual of the details? I'm not doubting your experience, but you have to admit, this scan sucks! Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/21/2008 3:54 pm I agree with Chuck and myself...can a person agree with himself? Anyway...A bigger pic won't really help. Die doubling is easy to rule out based upon the scan. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
