    Looks like Die Deterioration doubling.
    Worthless doubling.

    Looks like DDD. What does the rest of the coin look like?
    Might still be a keeper. Remember variety's and errors are worth more when they have great eye appeal or are in great condition. MS

    The "elder" members only like that if a full picture is needed to help make an accurate assessment. In this case it's not needed.

    It's ok to ask for additional pics if YOU need them to help provide an accurate answer. However, just asking because you think others might want it, or because you think "that's the way it's done" does nothing more than waste the time of the OP.

    It is always a good idea to show the entire coin, both sides. There may be other anomalies that may be missed. Welcome to CT's International Coin-Port.

    I, liked your coins. Keep trucking, and you may find a neat coin in unusual places. I filled up with gas about a month ago, and I was given a 1964 Kennedy. It was obvious from his accent that he was from another country and knew what the coins are, but he didn't know the coin's significance. I never "look a gift horse in the mouth". Should I have taken it back and explain the importance of the coin? I know that some coin collectors feel I was "stealing" from the man. What about the man that gave him the coin originally? How far back do you go to get the coin to the original owner. I know that when I stole a Morgan Dollar out of my mother's purse and went to a store downtown to buy all sorts of sweets. My father was in Korea and my mother and her 4 children were in a small town that was my mother's home town.
    Anyway, my mother didn't miss the coin and I thought I was safe until the man from the store (who was my mother's former boyfriend) came to the house with the Morgan Dollar and returned it to her. After the man from the store left, my mother sent me to my bedroom. After about an hour (by the way, I was 13), my mother came to my room and sat on my bed and didn't say anything for a few minutes. Then she said words that I hated to hear. "Jimmy, I thought your father and I taught you better than to steal. The coin was my Great grandfather's. When he died, the coin was given to my father, your grandfather, and when your grandfather died, it was given to me." Then she told me that I would have to work in the store after school, for four hours, to repay the money your theft was valued at. (I thought that was extreme, since I didn't get my booty, but I knew it was the wrong time to bring up that little tid-bit. I worked at the store for 4 hours each afternoon.
    I had worked 4 hours for 5 days and I was given $5, which was 25 cents an hour for a total of $5. That was the most money I had ever had. (I worked for him for 20 hours at 25 cents an your until school was over. I paid 10 percent tithing to my church, $2 to my mother to help with the bills, $2 to savings, leaving me with 50 cents to do with whatever I wanted. With that 50 cents, I took my little brother to a drug store and each got a fountain soda, leaving me 10 cents to put in my sock that I keep my coins. I was broke again, but I always knew there was always next week. I did get 2 Buffalo Nickels, and I still have them. I am 73 and grew to appreciate my mother and her love.
    I'm sorry if I bored you.
