I think this is a good post to bump for people that are just getting in to doubled dies, and might have a little trouble telling the difference.
And with that attitude, you shouldn't expect an explanation from me regarding this coin.
Extra legs and knees are doubled dies found pretty much exclusively on coins struck during the single-squeeze hubbing era, or coins struck in the...

It's been done on ebay for years. It's called "seeding" a roll. 2 good end coins, rest is junk. Plus, how can you guarantee it is unsearched if...

I could see a $500+ coin. It wouldn't receive a grade if slabbed, but it is still nice besides the damage.

Shows best on the top left corner of the "I".
