It is not a Doubled die, as the smaller portion is too flat. One photo makes it look like mechanical doubling and the second like "Die deterioration" due to excessive wear. Either way there is no value added. Jim
Well could not find another one like it at all, so has to have some value, even if it is. Strike double
It is visible with out mag ovation, these pics just define it more, and there is some indication of doubling else where, just not as evident as the date and Mint mark
The mint mark is added to the die after it has been produced, so the chance of a doubled die and a doubled mintmark ( RPM) is exceedingly rare. You can go to coppercoins.com and look to see if you have a match, it is a search variety site.
Thanks I will do that, all I know haven’t found another one like it! So anyway thank you again for the info!
There were 46,220,000 of the 1920S struck. Let us know when you have checked all of them. Chris PS. It looks like machine doubling to me, too! PPS. Machine doubling is also called strike doubling, mechanical doubling and sometimes ejection doubling.
The fact that you can't find another like it also points to strike doubling. Strike doubling may happen to only one single coin, whereas a doubled die would affect every coin struck by that die.
1,100,457.........1,100,458........1,100,459........1,100,460.......Can I take a break any time soon?
It could be worth more if you convince someone that didn't know any better that it is a doubled die piece and get them to buy it as such. Not ethical, but possible.
Well double dye is a coin that’s struck twice, not a dye that has two different designs that are the same, and either way as old as it is and the fact that no one else has one makes it as valuable as the eye of the beholder!

And still looking I saw one or two that had a double strike, but it was almost perfectly over the other, wasn’t off as much as this coin
Wrong, a doubled die is not a coin that is struck twice. It is struck from a die that has a doubled image from when the die is made. The error is in the die and all coins struck from that die show the doubling.
Wrong! It is not struck twice The design on the Die that was engraved is Doubled and that's why it's called a Doubled Die and not a Double Struck. Got it?
