    Can't tell from the pics. Just look for die deterioration on the last 5.

    The poor mans doubled die isn't a doubled die. It's minor die deterioration. Was misnamed decades ago before much info on the minting process was known

    It was named to differentiate a strike doubled die from the McCoy.

    The last 5 is what’s noticeable, usually without any help.

    Yeah, he didn't make it, lol. Poor little thing. But that's the way to take it, Brad, with a sense of humor. Just stay in there and keep swinging, you'll hit them. :)
