Second, I highly suggest posting your pictures properly oriented. Happy hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
RaleighCoinDeal Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 12/26/2018 10:42 pm It does look to me to be Machine Doubling on the date going south. Not a Double Die but Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/27/2018 05:45 am @tbc, when I rotate, enlarge, and enhance the current photos, I don't see any doubling. The last two digits of the date were either lightly struck or have been preferentially worn. Better pics might help.
