HAHAHAHA i was waiting for this:woot:
I think only the proofs were silver, that one isnt i dont think. Here's a link to numista: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1392.html...
I agree with machine doubling. Here's a link to the lincoln cent resource, showing what the real doubled die obverse should look like:...
