coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2021 7:02 pm You could have one that is not listed. But in order for us to give an opinion on something, no I've not heard of that before, but I didn't know about the listed ones on V.V either. But to prove/or not is done by seeing images. You could have a doubled die and have flat field doubling, or a doubled die and have Machine Doubling. Depending on which strike the Machine Doubling happened in this case it would be a doubled die with the secondary issue. Or if it is not a doubled die, you could have flat field doubling and Machine Doubling. Then it would be considered as a normal coin with MD or flat field doubling. (Not a doubled die) Example: So by providing images we could determine what you have. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2021 7:26 pm Be glad to check it out to see what is there. Most of the nice Franklin proofs have large spreads on the reverses: (not the same year) But these are easier to see. Look for the spread on the center of devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Kcm Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 08/06/2021 10:53 am I'm really not into shaming folks even when they may be behaving shamefully (as often am I so doing) I read your question. It calls for a "no" or a "yes." There are plenty of "no's" within your reach if you include everyone who's never come across a 1957 proof half. Yes is more elusive, methinks. If you do get a "yes," is it OK if the responder appends, "but I refuse to discuss it!"? That's unlikely to come from CCF's side of the interchange.
