I was looking through my collection and discovered what I think could be a semi-valuable coin. I am in the opinion that this coin will be graded very high with a red distinction. Along with strong doubling in the date and other letters on both sides of coin. I would be grateful for all the comments or criticism of my thoughts on this coin. Thank you for any comments.

I don't know about the doubling, but the coin has circulation wear, nicks and ticks, and that "I've been cleaned" look.

Something is terribly wrong with your coin. Either a bad counterfeit or someone took a wire wheel brush to it. If you post flat, full images of obverse and reverse you'll get a more definitive response.

It looks like it's been whizzed.

Perhaps whizzed, but definitely corroded and harshly cleaned.

Your photos are all a bit blurry and too much glare, please work on that. The coin has been cleaned/polished. Can not tell if there is any doubling but IHC are known for "Longacre" doubling. Here is a link you might like: https://www.indianvarieties.com/fly...e-varieties/

I'm not seeing a doubled die, I am seeing heavy wear, corrosion and harsh cleaning.

I agree fully with John1

It certainly has been cleaned, possibly whizzed, in the past. Can't see any doubling from these pictures.

Best I can see is maybe this...

Click on the "obverse and reverse notes"
But with the cleaning it's hard to really tell?
Looking fwd to some more posts!
