Yes.
Excessive wear does not create doubling.
I got the straight dope on the 2019 Commemerative coins tonight. You may know that it commemorates the 1969 moon landing and I believe the obverse...

I've never heard of this planchet composition. There must have been an entire roll, or more, made like this unless there was one spot on the...
I agree with him ^
