One day recently, I was fooling around and photographing a few of my older coppers and took a pic of it and when I was cropping it, I noticed something interesting on the obverse: The easiest way to see the double strike is to look at her lips.

Or not. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   09-24-2008, 08:48 AM   #4 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,190 Frank - if you look closely you can see the second set of lips and nose.

On the second strike, the coin shifted a little but it wasn't an even shifting. The doubling gets further apart from top to bottom. If you will look on her shoulder, you will see a second shoulder and follow that up and the distance gets smaller and smaller as you go up. I do not recall strike doubling doing that?

I don't know if it's because peeps call them that on Ebay or I saw it somewhere else but from now on I'm calling them by their correct name.
