To the CCF Will need larger clearer pictures to say for sure but definitely not struck twice, More than likely a vIse job. |

@coin, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that better pics would help, but that you most likely have a vise job coin there. This is the best that I can do with your current pics:  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I agree with above, it is a vise job and considered a damaged coin. The flattening on Abe's profile corresponds with the pressure applied to create the impression.   |

Not a vise job, this was struck twice in the chamber. You have gotten terrible feedback on this coin. Please do NOT get rid of it. These are very valuable. Put it in a 2x2 flip and do not touch or clean it in any way! The image of the memorial building is proud rather than reversed and incuse as it would be on a vise job, and the incuse area on the obverse is caused by the second strike occurring over a depressed area of the planchet caused by the first strike (you can see a raised (rather than incuse) date on Lincoln's head). This is a coin worth grading, IMO.

Agree that some sharper images needed to be sure, but seems like a rotated double struck in collar to me. Please add some sharper pics, as difference between a vise job and a double struck like this is many hundreds of dollars, and best to get it right.

While pursuing larger, sharper images, consider taking a few closer-in pics taken at an angle so that raised/incuse questions can be better addressed. Thanks!

Very nice find. You can definitely see the raised memorial building on the reverse. Close up pictures of the obverse would be nice to be able to 'read' the re-struck impression . Edited by Dearborn

I was asked to provide an opinion. While the photos are rather poor, the available evidence indicates that this is an in-collar double strike. The other possibility is that the second strike was delivered by a pair of counterfeit dies. However, this would have required an unusually skillful individual capable of duplicating the diagnostics of a genuine double strike. So right now, I lean toward authenticity.

This appears to be a genuine double struck rotated in collar to me. Very nice find and congrats!

Thanks for the additional photos. Looking like a legit in-collar double strike. Very cool.
