    HI Everyone,
    Was going over a 1904-o Morgan and found a doubled profile. Listed as vam-11 "Profile of Liberty head doubled in forward hairline, forehead, nose, lips,and chin." This is true and I see it. But lower down just below the line where the chin meets the throat there is a "void" or a small chunk missing. It is not from wear or damage. It actually appears to be where the throat was struck back over the original. Also you can clearly ( with 50x) not only see doubling but I think triple. Does any body out there have a coin that they can compare ? Any help or input would be appericiated.
    Thanks in advance to all. Don

    It would be much more helpful if you could post a pic and show us what you are talking about.

    You can try uploading the photos to a site like Photobucket and linking to them.

    I hope these show the issue clear enough.

    I'm going to leave this to the experts, I can't make much out from the pics. But it might be a possible doubling. Good luck! :thumb:

    That is NOT doubling, it is a tiny tiny tiny little cud......

    Finally an answer. So your thinking there was a break in the die here? I can't get the pic clear enough but there is doubleing where the throat outer line is. I thought the "Break" or "Cud" might have been another line but I now feel it is a chip out of the die or something. But if the die has a break or missing piece how come the throat line is still there? And how can it be doubled if a piece is missing.
    Bear with me I am going to school here and just am searching for knowledge.
    Keep'em Coming

    Don, if you post a pic of the whole coin we may be able to come up with an answer.
