CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 01:01 am Hello, and JimmyD is right. Pictures of both sides always help. As for the coin, doubled rims are common. I'm not too sure what causes them, but I find them way too often, and have been told numerous times they are common. No added value. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

RLS0812 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 12:16 pm Collar problems are usually what causes double rims. This is more pronounced in dimes. Edited by RLS0812 12/23/2018 12:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 12/23/2018 1:53 pm Double rims or sometimes referred to as false rims have several causes. To name a common cause is a misaligned die strike. Another less common that typically goes unnoticed is a worn collar issue. Full images of obverse and reverse may suggest more. Thanks, Doug.
