Chicago23 Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 02:25 am Does this have doubling on the obverse and reverse or possibly something else. When it comes to double strikes if the 2nd isn't much off center would it barely be noticeable? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 06:49 am Method of picture taking is simple, but highly effective in this case. Most often, a second strike over the first is in perfect registration over the first, and there is no sign of doubling. If this is the case, it would not even be perceived to be an error. Modern proof collector coins are often deliberately double struck, to bring up all of the design detail. Report this Post to the Staff

Chicago23 Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 8:16 pm Thanks, it was sold as scrap silver. I was just taking a chance, worst case is I have a nice piece of metal. Appreciate teaching me what I need to be looking for Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2020 8:27 pm Well there are several things to look for on different years, doubled dies, RPM, OMM (over mintmarks) Type 2 reverse on business strikes, Bugs bunny clashes just to name a few. If you would like images of these items I could include them. Report this Post to the Staff
