and the last cent, obverse reverse is above,,for the life of me i cannot a figga outta how to turn pictures, on ebay there is a machine that you can use (app) to do it..

 

The pictures aren't distinct enough to dx any doubling. I'm in for a provisional struck-through grease on that reverse.

 

ok, here are som (better) pics, i used a 10 x magnifier for my poor eyes..as i said, most likely machine or stuttering doubling , but at least you can see it, most "real" doubled dies are impossible to see even under mag.

 

Its not true die doubling. No split serifs. What characteristics do you see that indicates this was hub doubling? Did you check variety vista or Wexlers doubleddie site? Does it match any examples there?

Notice how the die is worn (radial flow lines). What you think is doubling is only due to common die deterioration

 

The end is getting near for that die John, sorry.

 

it's ok, i see doubling and i like it, most real "doubled dies" you can only see under a microscope or tell by a die scratch, i like the ones i can see..lol even if worthless doubling
