CONECA offers an Error Examination Service and the fee is much lower than that charged by PCGS or NGC. The CONECA examiner is an expert on error...
You started the thread at half past midnight Eastern time. Not everyone monitors this site 24/7. Some people are in bed at that time.
Sorry, your photos are fairly blurry but from what I can see the doubling appears to be strike doubling, not from a doubleD die.
I did not say the coin left the Mint with a blank side. Read what I wrote. I said it sounds like someone ground off the reverse. Even with a...

I don't collect silver dollars but I do know that the rim of a 1928 Peace Dollar struck at Philadelphia is different from one struck at San...

Six months ago you LIKED Proof Sets entombed in plastic.
I have a few of those.

Do any of the '08s or '09s have an 'S' mintmark?
What do you mean by 'lester'?
