Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4399 Posts	Posted 05/19/2020 10:58 pm I've had this medal in a cigar box filled with wheat cents for years. I recently went back into the cigar box to sort out the wheats and looked at this one under a loupe. To my surprise it had doubling. Wait no, tripling! Wait no, quadrupling! The tripling is noticeable throughout but the quadruple spread is only noticeable on OF THE. It's possible there's more than 4 misaligned hubbings as each one closely overlaps, but I can only definitively make out 4. The spread isn't that extreme, but it has nice notching and separation in some places and the letters are noticeably misshapen. Wexler does have a US Mint medal doubled die on his site, so I emailed him pics to see if he would be interested in looking at this one. Still awaiting a response. This medal is PCGS #413581 (1-5/16" bronze): https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin/413581 It is NOT the one from the 2014 Coins and Chronicles Set, I definitely owned this before 2014! I put it up on my site (with more pics) as SDDO-001: http://crdievarieties.com/doku.php?...drsbmsddo001 Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 10:57 am Very interesting! I have this medal in the 2014 FDR C&C set. Since it is a more recent strike I wonder what die set was used. I will have to take a closer look at mine when the time comes.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4399 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 11:09 am Thanks jbuck! Unfortunately this is not from the Coins & Chronicles set, this is a much older medal, so you're probably not going to find it in your set. There are slight design differences from the older medal to the one in the C&C Set. On the medal in the set, the copyright symbol above the designers initials was removed and they added texture to the fields. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 11:39 am Correct, as I mentioned, mine would be a much more recent strike. Your mention of the design differences assures that different dies were used. I will not rush to examine mine at this time.
