    I found this one... The coin matches up with the one on error.ref. It didn't say how many have been found though..

    I'm not seeing anything that indicates a doubled die. Keep in mind that there were small and lsrge dates for this year, so a lot of supposed "extra thickness" doubled dies people see end up turning out to just be the large date.

    I'm sorry I didn't provide the following link to the variety vista pictures of an identical coin.

    The doubling on the B in LIBERTY and the doubling behind the 2 and inside the 8, as well as the die scratches inside the M on the reverse are the same as is the "in god we trust". It's not a very exciting coin to look at but it is a variety coin.

    Take a look at the spacing between the I and B of LIBERTY in the link you provided. It is almost non-existant. Now look at your coin. There is a noticeably larger gap. Sorry, your coin is not DDO-002. In order for it to be that die, the doubling must be EXACT.
    In addition, the die scratches are not an exact match in the M of AMERICA. Fr the doubled die, they are a lot stronger/deeper and are localized to that area. Yours are throughout the M and not as strong.

    AWORDCREATED Hardly Noticeable

    Why are the Value and Population Guides always empty, do I need to sign up to see that info?
