<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1698827, member: 112&quot;]Well that is most definitely rather dramatic doubling on the obverse. And there are some known counterfeits that have doubling, but none for this date in the books that I have. But that doesn&#039;t mean that none exist. So either it&#039;s a fake, or it&#039;s a previously undiscovered DDO.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, since the details on the coin appear to be quite mushy, and since there is so much dramatic doubling, I&#039;m inclined to go with it being a counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>But since it&#039;s a friend, perhaps you can work something out with him. Get him to agree to pay for submitting the coin, and then you&#039;ll both know for sure. And you&#039;d be doing the hobby a favor for if it is a fake, then that example could be added to the known fakes database.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, even though I think it unlikely, have a new variety discovered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
