Just curious as to what type of doubling this is...?

The rest of the coin looks doubled, too--except for the middle. Doubling in Liberty and In God We Trust..

This appears to be Mechanical Doubling and, unfortunately, not worth a premium.

Actually from the images provided it's really not possible to tell whether the coin is a doubled die. The lighting needs to be more directly perpendicular to the surface of the coin so that the edges of the devices are shadowed. From the low angle of lighting and the intensity of lighting in the images provided, all the areas that would ake good pickup points for doubling are drowned in white light.

It does appear to be Mechanical Doubling, just from reading a few articles.. There looks to be some damage from the striking process as well on the date & some letters. If this makes sense, please let me know.

Coppercoins, I took a few photos with lighting directly perpendicular to the coin & saw no evidence of doubling, except in the date--it just appears to be flat, though..

Thanks for the input, ya'll!
