Partially retained fold over lamination. Nice error but no to having it slabbed unless you do so for verification and your own enjoyment. Perhaps...
They're keeping it simple for the most part. Maybe a good thing. Maybe they don't argue about designs as much as we do about ours. A lot easier...
Well done and congrats.
There would be nothing to show on the rest of the coin that would help in this case. The doubling has been shown where it exists. This variety can...
Yes, I think of him often and his many contributions to the hobby. He is a good man and Parkinson's can tear you apart. He has updated his...

I will admit up front that I am ignorant of this coins history but could it have been struck over another similar sized coin or same coin of...
As said above and from a very worn die as evidenced by the orange peel effect.
I guess the only way to tell is with some other coins that are the same or use a micrometer. It may have been part of the design intentionally....

I'm adding the link. If this has already been posted, then my apologies. I'm posting mainly because I heard a few people here say they...
Yes to trail dies.
Respectfully I have to diagree with this on the Shield Cents. Most of the doubling on Shield Cents occurs at "Liberty", the date and reverse...
And one more...not knowing the date, there was the 1988 with the reverse of 1989. One has a plain G and the other has the crossbar on the G. It is...
I'll take a shot at one of them. The arrow pointing to the head is actually the vein on his head and part of the design. It's not a die crack.
There's several on the Outer Banks also. Elizabethan Gardens, Wright Museum, Aquarium to name a few.
Yes sir, a sheet metal roller was what I was thinking about.
Looks like it took a good hit and the metal got shoved around.
I was being totally sarcastic my friend.
