I don't know about that how long have u been doing this?

 

Are u talking about the spread on some of the letters in those words and a few are close together?

 

Look at the N in CENT. The bridge between the two "bars" is much thicker than the typical. Typical feature of Class II spreading.

Yes WDDR-001 seems right to me.

 

I am not as experienced as I believe the people on here are and I appreciate everyone's help. But what does that mean ?should I do something with this ?

 

Yes. Many of our members are very educated. I study 24/7. A doubled die is rather complicated. All it is basically when the die (thing that strikes the design on the coin) has a doubled image. These are not purpously made by the mint. John Wexler indexes these coins. Wexler Doubled Die Obverse #1. Nice find.

I read that this morning thank u. I just am not sure where I should have this checked out at. I live in Indiana very few places to get it looked at and not so sure they really look closely at them.Do u think it has some value to it?

 

You could send it to Mr. Wexler and yes, they are worth a few bucks .
