<p>[QUOTE=&quot;frech001, post: 7327169, member: 20616&quot;]I couldn&#039;t tell from your photos if this is strike doubling, which is described in Rick Snow&#039;s Attribution Guide as:&nbsp; </p><p>&quot;Many strike doubled pieces get confused as repunched</p><p>mint marks. Strike doubling occurs when dies are loose in their seating and move slightly during striking.&nbsp; A flat shelf-like projection is produced around the edges of the design in one direction. Since the mint mark is punched into the die separately from the wreath, any doubling on both elements would not normally occur, and is likely strike doubling.&quot;&nbsp; Unfortunately this coin has been counterfeited also.&nbsp; The bumpy surface of the coin seems odd to me, but without closer examination it is impossible to tell.&nbsp; Rick would likely also detect that and that could trigger a return by the eBay buyer.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.ngccoin.in/news/article/8711/counterfeit-detection-1908-s-cent/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.in/news/article/8711/counterfeit-detection-1908-s-cent/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.in/news/article/8711/counterfeit-detection-1908-s-cent/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
