<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3360647, member: 43872"]I'm not an expert by any stretch, but it looks to me that this is struck from a very worn obverse die, which accounts for everything you mention. The doubling, including the mint mark (if the doubling is real and not a reflection; it's hard to tell in the pictures) seems to me to be only die deterioration. There is a prominent die crack at the shoulder, and I think I see where it continues through the left field and into the R in LIBERTY, where it becomes more visible. There are also scattered die marks and polishing lines, all resulting from the age of the die. As pointed out above, there are lots of nicks from the mint bag or from circulation. I would keep it if I had it because it is interesting, but I wouldn't buy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
