Standfast Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 05/30/2019 11:13 am Hi brookeAD5683, I'm new here, but I'll take a shot. It's tough with the picture, but to me it looks like there's Machine Doubling on the motto. Also, the bumps resemble lamination error, maybe zinc rot popping up. As for value, a can't see it being much more than face. the great thing about this place is that someone with far more knowledge than me will certainly comment. Report this Post to the Staff
YourGeorgiaPeach Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 05/30/2019 11:48 am Yeah that appears to be Machine Doubling on the motto and nothing more, common on most dates to some degree but never enough to command a premium. YGP Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/30/2019 1:26 pm Here are a few side by side with normal coins and DDO's for this year so you will know what to look for: (Always look for the spread on a doubled die) FS-101 FS-102 Hope this helps. The devices are usually larger on doubled die. Usually the devices on a doubled die can be different from die to die. But the same on coin to coin. (die wear can alter some doubled dies) Edited by coop 05/30/2019 1:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
