    Thank you Donnyb,
    for your reply. I have searched the internet extensively and so far have not come upon a place to check out these beautiful coins.
    I have a 2007 uncirculated satin finish ASE which might have some die doubling on the obverse and reverse, but I have nothing to which I can compare it. So far I have not removed the coin from its air-tite holder but would have to do so to properly photograph it.
    Like many other 'die doubled' coins, this could be machine/mechanical doubling.
    If you have seen or heard of any doubling on ASE's then it might be worth while to get pictures for posting.
    Thanks again,
    jeankay

    Never heard of any doubled varieties of ASE's Jeankay but then again they could be out there.....How 'bout a picture.

    It's hard to imagine but hardly impossible,

    I'd like to see a photo even if it's still in an airtite.

    There have been some errors on ASE's but very few. Never heard of any with doubling though, even mechanical doubling.

    Mechanical doubling can very often be confused with doubled dies. I looked at all mine, and I do not have neither mechanical doubling or the very elusive doubled die. ;) Can't wait to see pics.

    Just curious, do you have any links to photos?

    Some have been posted here before, and I think Mike Byers has some on his web site. But here's one - Click Here

    He has a 1920 Standing Liberty Quarter
    Struck on Peru 20C Planchet
    NGC MS 60 FH • Unique

    on his website which looks more detailed than any silver version I'd ever seen.

    If it's an error or variety, he usually has pics of it.

    Sorry about that. I have decided I do not want a full time job taking pictures of silvery coins... these were real bears to get finished.

    1. Toes are doubled. I know it looks out of focus but it is not.
    2. The rays of the sun are doubled on the right side edges.
    3. The reverse has this type of doubling on letters and other devices.
    4. Also the reverse, the stars are all doubled.
    5. Fingers on hand are doubled. The line that looks like a raised line is only a string.
    More pictures are available, but no more room in this post for them.
    If I am lucky the pictures will stay in the order described. If not you will need to find them.:smile

    All your pics look like mechanic doubling. The stars clearly show this and appears to be a nice example.

    Wow You finally got a great response! I have a blank silver planchet and a die strike thru, but have never seen and die doubling or mechanical doubling on the ASE. We need agroup dedicated to collecting ASE only.

    I agree but I've never seen that on an ASE, so that is a major deal and the toe might not look like mechanical doubling.

    Thanks everyone for the nice replies.

    Unfortunately I know next to nothing about ASE's except that I get them because I like them, which I do not consider to be real collecting.
    I will keep searching the internet to see if there is some site where they include ASE's as one of their specialties.
    If I do find a site I will certainly let everyone know.

    I really do want to find out what is going on with this coin...

    Thanks again!

    I'm not an error guy but I am inclined to agree. That one might be worth sending in.

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for taking such an interest in this coin.
    I showed the pics of the ASE to someone else and they believe they see some notching on the date. These pics are from my camera and enlarged in Paint Shop so the bigger the pic is the grainier, and I need to get a better resolution.

    And "Send it Where?"

    A few different options. You could send it to a TPG but I wouldn't. I'd send to one of the error/variety experts like Potter or Byers. The TPG may not even attribute it as an error/variety until one the experts does it first.
