The ones that it looked like the most were the proof but even though this is an extremely nice looking coin I wouldn't think it a proof. Any suggestions where I might be able to find out some more on it, I've already checked coppercoins and CherryPickers Guide. Report this Post to the Staff

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 06:48 am I don't see any sign of doubling, except something goning on with the date. Most likely not a DDO. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 4:57 pm The area in question if you look at the shape of the digits, nothing is larger as you would expect on a doubled die. They are all the same size with just some metal pushed from the ejection of the coin from the mechanism. Note on this coin which is a small date over a large date 1960: Note the size that the digits are increased? The die is doubled and every coin struck with that die will look just like that. Hope this helps. Here is a circulated example I found. Compare with your coins image. Edited by coop 02/02/2009 5:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
