    Could this be a double die ?

    I think this is probably what is referred to as MD or machine doubling where the die is loose and moves as it withdraws from the strike leaving a flat shelf-like double. True die doubling is rounded and will show notches. Look at the tops of the T's and you see doubling, but no notching. That being said, I probably don't know what I am talking about, so wait for a knowledgeable person.

    I'll never know because it looks like die doubling to me and I'm always wrong so don't ask me.

    I think you mean doubled die.
    It is not a doubled die, just machine doubling. Maybe these will help

    A doubled die extends or doubles the devices, machine doubling flattens the edges of devices.

    I suggest you keep it because it is a nice example of MD to learn and compare to others that you find.

    Me too. Always confusing of the two. I stopped looking for doubled dies. Hurts my eyes and never have doubled die cents.

    I'm not sure I'm seeing it. Can you post a pic of it outside of the holder?

    The tail on the last 5 makes me think it is a "Poor Man's Doubled Die"

    Kentucky nailed it both coins. The 55 cent was in a recent post that said it was die deterioration doubling on that second 5...Spark
