That "ghosting" is Split Plate Doubling, from the thin Copper plating splitting during the strike. http://www.error-ref.com/split-peeling-plating/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 01:41 am That's a really nice Spike Head! I don't think there is split-plate doubling because I don't see any split plating. It looks like Die Deterioration to me.
