    I'm not sure if this is considered a doubled die on the "O" (OF AMERICA), there's also a die (crack or scratch) trailing the same O down towards the rim crossing the base of the left wheat (make it looks like a balloon.)

    I say no to Doubled Die. Maybe just an issue with the lettet O created by the Die Crack.

    It looks like O took some sort of hit it appears that the metal got moved by no means I am no expert.

    But to be honest it's hard to tell from the pic for me the lighting is real bright on the area in question.


    I would wait for a more qualified expert.

    Yeah, I tried to do two shots, one with less light but still came out strong. Are there experts on CT? Like PCGS or NCG folks that helps out with questions?

    Agree. Looks like the die crack extended into the O and caused a chip. Doesn't add much value, but it's still a cool find

    Thanks. Quick question, when does a crack or a scratch add value? Is it if it's known, like listed on some well known sites like doubleddie.com? or PCGS or NCG ? I know I can put this up on eBay and pray some collectors like it and pay a good premium on it but curious how this errors add value in general.
