    Just got back into coins after 10 years started CRH pennies and got a decent microscope. Bought a copy if Cherrypicker's Guide recently and found this coin, the pictures in CG look nothing like this so i was guessing this coin i found might just be machine doubling. date and mintmark are the only doubling on the coin.
