    DoublED die is the correct term and, IMO, this coin is not.

    There's no "vibe", positive or negative, that I can see, johnace. He simply emphasized the correct terminology and then stated an educated opinion. Be careful not to misinterpret a direct response as being rude.

    Also, what I was trying to get at earlier is that explaining exactly what you see when asking the question allows those responding to be on the same page, and more often than not also allow for better answers. Just a friendly suggestion..

    Here's another link that goes more in-depth than, but is a fine addition to, the one posted earlier. By following the index on the right hand side, you can also learn much about the minting process and the different types of genuine varieties (among other things) that should be helpful to you when searching. Good luck.

    Why do you think we call him "Bad," lol? Oh, lighten up. I corrected a newbie on the proper terminology not that long ago and got maybe four pages of criticism for it because I guess it hurt her feelings. "Vibes?" Why don't you instead try to learn from what he said? You don't even know what it's called, and you're "seeing" it, what does that tell anyone?

    Just looks like a lot of wear & tear on this coin. Keep looking though, you will find something special eventually. If you want to learn a lot about Doubled Die coins visit John Wexler's site at doubleddie.com. Lots of photos, descriptions, etc., and especially valuable for new collectors. Brian's Variety coins online can also be a big help. Mostly everyone here is willing and able to help but be prepared that what you see may not be what you wished it might be. That's all part of the learning process. Also, invest in some books on coins, they are invaluable for your research, they will pay off in the long run many times over.
