I don't have a vast knowledge of coins with doubling like I'm sure some of you do, so I thought I would ask you what you think. Do you think this is a double die? the two has a little extra metal on the top of the tail and there is extra metal in the curve of the two. What do you think? I would be very happy to hear from you guys.
Usually it is necessary to determine if there is such a thing as a doubled die for a particular issue, but that's just me ...
Thanks for the welcome! Mine is similar to several of the coins shown on the source you provided, but it doesn't have all of the features of any coin on the page. It seems to have bits and pieces from 2-3 examples of the example doubled die coins, on my coin, but no 100% match to any example.
The lighting is not the best for identification of such. Some of the photos look like there is one light source, others like there are multidirectional sources. Metal reflections can look like die doubling or MD, when none exist. The 4th and fifth are the best and I do not see any thing there that says doubled die. Wexler DDO-006 is similar but not definitive to me. Jim
+1,000. The MAIN error we ALL make in searching for errors is NOT understanding what our lighting is doing. These are three dimensional objects, not printing. Lighting is hypercritical.
I thought it looked the most like the Wexler DDO-006 as well. I see now what you are talking about with lighting. That would explain why the E in WE looks so doubled when nothing else on the coin is even close to that.
