Gnaylor5 New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 08/26/2020 9:45 pm So what does that mean is it not worth more than the value Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 08/26/2020 9:51 pm Yes exactly--worth face value. This is a defect in the manufacturing process rather than a collectible error. Of course, save it if you want to as it is interesting to look at.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/27/2020 1:36 pm As the coin is struck the metal is forced outward radially. At the edge of the letters the surface metal is trying to move up into the letter and also outward. Sometimes the stress becomes too much and the plating splits at the edge of the letter the as the metal surface moves outward it opens the gap where the plating split and exposes the silver colored zinc core. No actual doubling occurs but you get a silver outline on the side closest to the rim which gives it a doubled appearance. Report this Post to the Staff
