I have a pic but not that nice of one til my camera charges.lol. CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR GIVE ME ANY IDEAS ON WHAT TO DO FROM HERE? Who would I contact on a new discovery?(If thats what it is) You can clearly see that almost every letter has a slight to major doubling.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/08/2008 11:13 am I think I see what you're talking about in the pics. I'm seeing some outlining around letters, but I don't think it's doubling from a double-hubbed die. It looks to me there was a shoulder on the die tools used to create the legend, and then was impressed deep enough to leave a faint outline. It's very common on Indian Head cents, and may also be what's happening here. A true double-hubbed die would show doubling of the serifs and most likely a clear directional offset--not an outline such as inside the O in "OF". Those are some general observations--and there are experts here who can give you better detail. you'll find this is a great place to get info from other collectors. Report this Post to the Staff
