Yes Penny. That's a nice doubled die. You might want to post these on their own threads, just so it gets more attention and you don't hijack...
It's hard to tell from the photos, but it appears to me that the "e pluribus unum" above the memorial is mirror image. This is a classic...
That's a nice find. I'd guess that, depending upon grade, it will sell in the $500-$800 range.

Now I see it. Must have been my eyes. :D It's die deterioration doubling. What you have is an example of the famous(infamous) "poor man's...
Photos? Psychic viewing abilities? :)
Looks like a lamination peel, but I'd like to see a photo so that the reverse is not at an angle to the lens. Lamination peels are minor...
