Very nice!
I have one in similar condition (not as doubled though), I believe Mike Diamond said it was Die Deterioration Doubling...



I need a better picture of this... lol

 

Golden oldies

Nothing quite like the 'golden oldies' Jello.
Fortunately I have been lucky enough to get a few oldies with the gold hues.
As for cranberry, here you go. (the picture is the best I could get and does not give the coin the justice it deserves)... jeankay

 

Yum, I hate cranberries but I would eat that one up.

 

Very Very nice Jello! and also the other coins are nice also. It is very interesting how the colors can develop over time. Love to see any error or toned coin!

cranberry color maybe a flash back of my med's of long ago

 

Nice Poor Man's DDO!

 

thank you!!!!

 

Sweet Jello! :thumb:

When can I expect to see it in my mailbox? :whistle:

Ribbit

Nice one Jello. i have two of them i have some extreme doubling on the I of liberty, and the last digit of the date,unfortunitly this is from die fatige and don't fetch that much,but there cool to have. I have a couple of 1958 like that, but I don;t think they list it as a poor mans 1958 double die. Nice coin Jello

CONGRATS Jeankay !!

You not only have a very nice toner, BUT, it is also an inverted S, the upside down mintmark !!!! Thats a toughie !!

 

Jack... you gotta be kidding.
I figured if it is in my album then it can't be that good.
Nah, it can't be so. Really... ?
Is there some place to check these out? This is not in any of my books.
jeankay

 

Jean Kay, you gotta come up to PA and search through stuff for me, you must be good luck. Geez, lol. Nice find!!
