Dearborn Moderator United States 95760 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 6:43 pm looks like a MAD strike, Mis-aligned Die. (Damage at the bottom of the reverse though.) Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34407 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 7:42 pm Yes a nice example of a minor MAD. Typically we say that the tops of the letters need to be falling off the edge before the numismatic value is increased.

If you are thinking of the term doubled die, this is an entirely different thing. On a doubled die the die made to strike the coins has a doubled image engraved into it, and so any coin minted using that die has a doubled image.

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 9:16 pm I agree with a MAD. Seems like more should be missing from the right side though. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 2:46 pm Reverse is damaged. Note that the curve of the rim is shoved inwards. Spender coin just because of the damage. Report this Post to the Staff
