stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 06:50 am Looking at the U of Trust in the first pic , I would call this a double struck coin. The date is 1918. Can we see pics of the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/25/2019 4:34 pm Correct it is a 1918. How can you tell for sure. Note the VDB under the shoulder on this coin. The 1909-1917 coins didn't have the VDB there. Machine Doubling a struck through issue left the coin looking like that. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 01/25/2019 6:07 pm It would help to see a photo of the reverse. In the meantime, the pattern of doubling on the obverse strongly suggests we're dealing with a close double strike. We'd need measurements of the coin's diameter to see if the second strike was in-collar or out-of-collar. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
