I'm not sure if This is the premium reverse Doubling Error or not. Edited by NEWmrMatic 03/10/2023 7:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The depth of the die in this area tends to limit metal flow into STATES. On wheat cents, the same effect happens to the O of ONE. I'm not sure how the "A's" of AMERICA are different in your images.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95645 Posts	Posted 03/10/2023 8:50 pm Yep, Pete got this one handled, a weak strike on the reverse is fairly common due to the lack of enough metal to form the reverse devices. The Mint 'fixed' this problem when they changed the obverse design to a low profile one. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 03/10/2023 9:33 pm An easy way to get immediate answers as to whether you have a doubled die, RPM, or OMM. Find them all listed here: www.varietyvista.com Scroll down, find the e-book for the coin you are looking for and take the links. If yours is not listed then you probably have non-collectable doubling such as Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling (search these topics on this forum and at error-ref.com).
