Poor man's doubled die
(Not an actual doubled die variety)
It's die deterioration doubling or worthless doubling.

Here's some great information

In 1955, they worked those poor dies to death. Repeatedly.

 

Yeah. What's so "odd" about it? It's just strike doubling and normal circulation wear.

 

No.. It's Die Deterioration doubling.
See the link I provided earlier.

There is a difference.

 

That's right, that was off the die, I didn't look close enough.

 

It’s a Poor Mans doubled die which I believe was caused by a worn die. Not at all anything like the famous Doubled Die for this date. It’s only worth about $5.00 at my LCS.

 

Correct.
That's the information I gave in my first post with a link

 

I just woke up and didn’t read all of the replies. At any rate, I’m glad that we agree.
