RealtorInWi Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 03/23/2006 07:44 am I know the pics arent the greatest--I'll work on that. No offense, Rick, but I would like to get some more opinions on this coin...and I know it's hard to tell without the coin in-hand, but this does have some characteristics of both mechanical & true doubling.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/23/2006 1:37 pm From the pictures I would have to agree with Mechanical Doubling, and I am in no way a expert in this field either. But like you said it can look totally different when in hand but from the pictures it does look like Mechanical Doubling to me Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/27/2006 03:39 am Although minor, I believe it is a doubled die. It would be a class 4 offset hub doubled die. I would need to see more of the coin and any applicable doubling before making a determination of certainty. Report this Post to the Staff
RealtorInWi Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 03/28/2006 11:10 pm Actually, I threw this in there to see what kind of responses I would get... Sorry folks, it IS a doubled die. Nice call, coppercoins! Image: ddobv.jpg 67.69 KB Image: ddrev.jpg 60.94 KB Report this Post to the Staff
